-Got rid of the transfer fee.

-Expanded and restored it's regional rail service to Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton, Reading, Lancaster, and West Chester.

-Expanded it's subway-surface and trolley system (restoring the 23 plus adding more subway surface lines along Whitby Ave, Lansdowne Ave from 63rd St to Morris Park, Lancaster Ave from 52nd St to 63rd St, and a Fairmount Park line from 52nd and Lancaster to City Line Ave.)

-Forced the booth clerks to make change.

-Has nothing to do with SEPTA, but PATCO should've expanded it's service to Cherry Hill, Maple Shade, Deptford, Woodbury, and had another line alone Vine St to 30th St Station and the Locust St Subway should be extended to University City Station.
