Manage episode 450452537 series 1511268
Public transportation commuters throughout the Philadelphia area have been in a state of limbo for the past week, as SEPTA and its thousands of bus, train, and trolley operators continue contract talks.

Matt Leon and KYW’s reporters give us the rundown of the biggest news in the Philadelphia region this week, including a recap of City Council hearings about the 76ers’ proposed East Market Street arena, information about holiday scams, and the ripple effects that historic wildfires are having on South Jersey.
