No talks today on new SEPTA, union contract The sides have still made little progress since negotiations began March 14, when the contract between SEPTA and the TWU expired. Officials have in recent days sounded more positive about the chances of reaching an agreement. The continuing contract negotiations are an effort to avoid a potential strike which would shut down buses, trolleys and subways and leave the system's 450,000 weekday passengers searching for another way to get around the city. Regional rail lines, whose workers are members of a different union, would be unaffected by the strike. -- Ben Geldon
