A newly-released study compares 100 transit providers in a hundred large and medium US cities. SEPTA unsurprisingly came in very low for resources (86/100) but (surprisingly) got high marks for accessibility and convenience (9/100), and was almost at the bottom for safety and reliability (97/100).
My 2¢ is that without a SEPTA-specific breakdown of their metrics, I'm not sure how they arrived at those rankings. On one hand it's obvious SEPTA lacks full resources and has an aging fleet of rail vehicles, and their ranking of fares comports with the recent Pew study. On the other, I don't see how it could be considered unsafe or so massively unreliable - nor are swaths of it accessible and convenient outside the CBD and some suburban hubs.

Requiem for it's/its, your/you're, than/then, less/fewer. They were once such nice words with such different meanings...
