SEPTA also manages construction projects that repair, replace, and expand infrastructure and rolling stock. SEPTA is the major transit provider for Philadelphia and its suburbs in Delaware, Montgomery, Bucks and Chester. SEPTA is a state agency〔http://www.legis.state.pa.us/cfdocs/legis/LI/consCheck.cfm?txtType=HTM&ttl=74&div=0&chpt=17&sctn=11&subsctn=0〕 and the majority of its board is appointed by the five Pennsylvania counties it serves.〔 While several SEPTA commuter rail lines terminate in Delaware and New Jersey, additional service to Philadelphia from those states is provided by other agencies: the PATCO Speedline from Camden County, New Jersey is run by the Delaware River Port Authority, a bi-state agency, New Jersey Transit operates many bus lines and a commuter rail line to Center City, Philadelphia; and DART First State runs feeder lines to SEPTA stations in Delaware. SEPTA has the 6th-largest U.S. rapid transit system by ridership, and the 5th largest overall transit system, with about 306.9 million annual unlinked trips. It controls 290 active stations, over of track, 2,295 revenue vehicles and 196 routes. SEPTA also manages Shared-Ride services in Philadelphia and ADA services across the region. These services are operated by third-party contractors. SEPTA is one of only two U.S. transit authorities that operates all of the five major types of transit vehicles: regional (commuter) rail trains, "heavy" rapid transit (subway/elevated) trains, light rail vehicles (trolleys), electric trolleybuses and motor buses. The other is Boston's Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (which runs ferryboat service as well).〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=SEPTA Web site )〕 SEPTA's headquarters are located at 1234 Market Street in Center City, Philadelphia. ==History== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「SEPTA」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
