SEPTA needs to show transparency similar to when Regional Rail cars were taken out of service for repairs in 2016. The transit agency needs to engage the public and its board over how it handles problems like this and its spending to address these issues. SEPTA should provide weekly updates on the status of repairs and the impacts this issue may have on the delivery of promised service. The board also has a duty to provide the agency with appropriate oversight to ensure these vehicle issues are resolved correctly.
