BREAKING WATCH LIVE: SkyForce10 is over the scene of the fifth crash involving a SEPTA vehicle in less than a week in Philadelphia:
SEPTA shared that 33 collisions happened between their vehicles from 2020-2022. Passengers were hurt in just five of those 33 crashes.
Between January 1, 2023, and July 25, 2023, there have been eight crashes between SEPTA vehicles, compared to:5 in 2021, with no injuries to bus/trolley passengers"I think they’re short staffed. I think they need more help. They need to hire more people," Elisha Miller, of Philadelphia, said. "To have one crash in one day is a concern so this is very concerning to us," Ron Keele, Chief Safety Officer at SEPTA, said."We’re looking at all of our rules and regulations. We’re doing what we call a Safety Stand Down. We're going out talking to all the employees about being safe. We're reiterating all the safety rules and operations rules we have in place."
SEPTA told NBC10 that it has 1,100 buses out every day to serve 300,000 riders in the Philadelphia area. Officials urge riders that SEPTA is a safe way to travel and commute.
