Potential SEPTA Strike As of Wednesday, November 20, a SEPTA strike has been avoided and no service interruption is expected within Philadelphia city limits. The possibility of a strike by suburban SEPTA operators lingers, potentially affecting bus and trolley service to and from Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery counties. Commuters from these areas are advised to monitor www.septa.org daily for developments.
