Philly Transit Riders Union is run by and for Philly area transit riders and workers--together we decide which issues effect all of us and how we'll fight for them.

We hold monthly general meetings in different locations around the city on the 3rd Sunday of every month from 3pm-5pm. At these general meetings, riders speak on their issues and we vote on how to run the organization. Here is where the individual experiences of riders ultimately become fully formed campaigns.

How is it getting around on these buses, trolleys, the subway, and the el? Tell us about yourself, your regular routes, and your experiences. We hope to see you at our next general meeting.
