The Magic Number: 26!
Why 26? Those are the Yeas needed by the Senate to pass the transit bill! We have about a week left before the Budget Deadline!
NOT everyone drives a car! Whether you live in urban counties like Allegheny, Philadelphia, Deleware, Montgomery or Bucks or rural counties like Indiana, Butler, Blair, Adams, York, or Lancaster - We need Public Transportation for All of Pennsylvania!
Many Senior Citizens have retired from driving a car in favor of taking the bus because they ride the bus for free, all day, every day! They rely on the bus to get to popular places like the senior center, grocery stores, banks, post offices, hair salons, or the train station to take the train to visit family. Riding the bus for free is a very popular perk for Senior Citizens in Pennsylvania. If no transit bill is passed, the senior citizens travels will be in big trouble.
Public Transit is the best alternative to the car!
