Metro no more

Many Philadelphia commuters have become hooked on The Metro, a tabloid distillation of the days news just perfect for a 10-minute to 1-hour ride. But those days will soon end, in light of today's announcement that SEPTA will end its contract with the paper as of September 30, in response to a variety of conflicts (see prev. here). Details in the article make it unclear whether there will be any change for stations where The Metro appears next to boxes for other papers, but the publication will no longer include SEPTA news.
