We need to fire SEPTA and hire a REAL transportation company who REALLY care about the people. I truly do believe that SEPTA can get what they want without striking, but they feel like they have to throw their weight around to show everyone who's boss. And unless they have competition, let's face it, they are boss. As for boycotting, that's a great idea, except people really do need SEPTA, me included.

SEPTA employees are a bunch of money-grubbing jerks who think they DESERVE to have their BLOATED SALARIES automatically raised because they can successfully sit on their butts all day, run red lights, blow past wet or freezing people on a whim and be rude everyone they encounter.

The rules are: once you get a job at SEPTA, you can't be fired until you've accidentally killed your third pedestrian, but I say FIRE THEM ALL! I know dozens of pleasant, qualified people who would love to work for a third less money. The unions have stuck THE TAXPAYERS with this mess and they SHOULD BE BROKEN! Why should your hard earned money go to someone's second shore house, third car or boat when you're scraping by?!?

MY TAX MONEY could be better spent in thousands of ways, including better public transportation. I am a 20 year city resident and I have learned to do the best I can without SEPTA and would work with everyone to replace this rotten system.
