SEPTA Union Ready to Strike; Police Seize ATV's; UberX Disrupted

Union members have voted unanimously to strike if SEPTA does not come to an agreement. 1500 members of TWU Local 234 voted to authorize union leadership to call a strike. The largest union represents 4,700 bus drivers, subway and trolley operators, and maintenance workers at SEPTA. Since March they have been working under an expired contract.

Philadelphia police have seized 34 illegal dirt bikes and all-terrain vehicles in an undercover sweep. The Major Crimes Unit rounded up the vehicles Sunday noting concerns for public safety. Hundreds of dirt bike and ATVs paraded through the city last week after the shooting death of popular dirt biker Kyrell Tyler. Some bikers rode up on sidewalks, cut off vehicles and raced through red lights.

UberX has hit a speed bump in Philadelphia. The app-driven mode of ride sharing that uses regular licensed drivers to provide rides for 20% less than taxi fares is facing fierce opposition from traditional cabbies and government officials. The Philadelphia Parking Authority says the service is illegal and impounded an UberX vehicle in a sting operation.
