By yesterday evening, a frustrated Tili Ayala had decided to fight back, staging a one-woman protest at Suburban Station to demand an end to the transit strike.
"I'm going to lose one of my jobs," she said, becoming teary. "I want the SEPTA corporation and the union to settle now! This is a time of recession! How dare you?"
Ayala said she depended on buses, subways, and trolleys - which aren't running - to get to jobs as a baby-sitter and community advocate. Yesterday, she set up a row of signs on the concourse, one saying, "SEPTA stop the greed and meet the need."
