Public transit system starting to resume service

Philadelphia’s public transportation system is slowly climbing back to full service. Mayor Michael Nutter announced that all subways, trolleys and buses are running, except for Route 55.

All Regional Rail service is suspended as of Tuesday afternoon, but Nutter said the focus is on restoring service for Wednesday morning’s commute.

For commuters from New Jersey, PATCO announced that it is resuming service at 6 p.m. and is running every 30 minutes at reduced speed.
