After months of discussion, drastic service cuts -- that will see SEPTA routes eliminated, shortened and/or reduced -- went into effect on Sunday.

SEPTA service cuts in Philadelphia worry parents of over 50,000 students reliant on public transit, as alternative transport solutions are sought amid a state budget debate affecting local transit funding.

Without a budget deal, SEPTA will cut services across all buses, subways, and trolleys by 20% starting on Sunday.
