400,000 riders maybe stranded as of Monday if SEPTA goes on strike. This will hurt the most vulnerable. Children. Working mothers. The elderly. Those that have the capability to find other transportation will do so and you can bet that many won’t come back when this is over. As was the case with the California grocery strike – it appears the main issue is health care.

The Frankford Terminal Weblog appears to be a weblog maintained by a SEPTA employee and has plenty of related information on the strike. Linked from the FTW is a strike survival guide.
