South Philadelphia residents, hear that? It's the roar of SEPTA buses
operating in place of trackless trolleys eight years after SEPTA removed
them from service.
.
In 2003, SEPTA replaced the trackless trolleys with buses on the Routes 29
and 79 due to construction detours and the need for new trolleys, but it
has kept the buses in South Philadelphia while adding the trolleys in the
Northeast. Residents want the trolleys back and have refused to let the
issue die.
.
"I just finished writing a letter to Mayor Nutter," said Susan Patrone,
former president of the Passyunk Square Civic Association, who has been
front and center on the fight. "The [trolleys are] quiet, theyre not
diesel dependent. Theyre just as important to the landscape as our
buildings."
.
The Clean Air Council and transit advocacy groups like the Delaware Valley
Citizens Transportation Committee have also called for restoration of the
trolleys.
