Transit agencies like Metro Transit and SEPTA are making changes to their services to address safety and crime concerns. Metro Transit plans to switch from three-car light rail trains to two-car trains to increase frequency from 15 to 12 minutes. SEPTA is opposing District Attorney Larry Krasner's legal challenge to a law mandating a special state prosecutor for transit crime.
