You can get more information on the proposed SEPTA bus route 49, which would connect Brewerytown and Fairmount with Grays Ferry via West Philly’s University City section, at an open house this Monday (March 28) at SEPTA Headquarters, 1234 Market Street.

The Open House is scheduled for 5-6:30 p.m. and will introduce SEPTA’s Fiscal Year 2017 Annual Service Plan, which includes proposals for some new transit services and changes aimed at improving existing services. SEPTA riders, stakeholders and the general public are encouraged to provide feedback regarding the proposals.

The Open House will be held in the Board Room, Mezzanine Level.

In other SEPTA news, the launch date for the long-anticipated SEPTA Key card payment system, which was expected to roll out in April (over two years behind the initial schedule), is being postponed again. According to PlanPhilly, the launch decision will be made at a meeting on April 15. If the new payment system gets approved, it will be launched in early June. However, SEPTA Key will be introduced gradually, initially replacing monthly and weekly transit passes only. Tokens will still be in use for some time.
