Episode Details

It's the Friday news roundup! We’re talking about SEPTA buses on fire in the Nicetown-Tioga neighborhood, more details on the transit agency’s funding troubles, and Center City residents who filed a bike lane lawsuit. Host Trenae Nuri and executive producer Matt Katz dig into all this (and our weekend plans).
