Costs have been rising due to inflation and high interest rates, SEPTA said.
SEPTA spokesperson Andrew Busch said the transit agency's budget is constrained compared to similar agencies that have "more state and local funding available."
"SEPTA would not jeopardize other critical projects, such as the Market-Frankford Line fleet replacement, Trolley Modernization, or station accessibility improvements, to advance an expansion project," Busch said. Just three weeks ago, SEPTA approved the rail's final design that would have connected Center City, University City and King of Prussia."King of Prussia Rail would have delivered real benefits to our city and region by providing reliable public transportation connecting our three largest employment hubs in Center City, University City, and King of Prussia. It would have eased congestion on area roadways and reduced air pollution," Richards said.Copyright © 2023 WPVI-TV.
