It's not just Tuesday morning, the rest of the summer could really be a headache for commuters who ride SEPTA's Regional Rails.
Might be a good time to check out that Uber discount.
SEPTA and Uber have a pilot program going where riders automatically get 40-percent off if you get picked up or dropped off at select Regional Rail stations.
There are two important things to know: the discount is good on fares up to $10. And because it's a pilot program, there are 11 stations where you can get the discount. They are among the busiest stations with highest ridership, according to SEPTA's website.
Here's the list with addresses:
Glenside: 49 W. Glenside Avenue, Glenside PA 19038
Jenkintown: 2 Greenwood Avenue, Jenkintown PA 19046

The discount gets automatically applied to your Uber fare if you get picked up or dropped off in the parking lot of any of those 11 stations.
The promotion runs through Labor Day, which is about how long it's expected to take for SEPTA to get 1/3 of its fleet back on the tracks. The cars were taken out of operation this weekend after a structural defect was discovered.
In terms of seats, that's about 13,000 fewer seats available for the 65,000 riders who typically use the Regional rails.
