}}The City Transit Division of the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) operates almost all of Philadelphia's public transit, including all 6 trolley, 3 trackless trolley and 70 bus lines within city limits. Some of the bordering municipalities are served by the City Transit division, despite not being part of the city. For example, Cheltenham Township has 13 city division routes and zero of the Suburban Division routes. The City Transit division also operates the 400 Series routes which are designed to serve students attending schools in the city of Philadelphia. The City Transit Division is broken down into the following districts: Allegheny, Callowhill, Comly, Elmwood, Frankford, Midvale, Southern, and Contract Operations. History Transit in Philadelphia started out with several dozen horse car, cable, and traction companies. In 1895, these companies began uniting under three main operations: Electric Traction Company, People's Traction Company, and Philadelphia Transportation Company. The following year, these three consolidated into the new Union Traction Company. In 1902, Union Traction Company went bankrupt; the company was reorganized as Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company (PRT) on July 1, 1902. Despite efforts by Thomas E. Mitten, PRT went bankrupt in 1939. A new company, Philadelphia Transportation Company (PTC), took over PRT's business in 1940. National City Lines (NCL) took over management of PTC on March 1, 1955 and began converting streetcar lines to bus routes. SEPTA, created in 1962, bought and took over PTC transit operations on September 30, 1968. After the purchase of the Red Arrow Lines on January 29, 1970, SEPTA designated the city services as its "City Transit Division". Today, these bus or trackless trolley routes were once operated as streetcar lines: Routes 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 12, 17, 23, 25, 26, 29, 30, 31, 33, 37, 38, 39, 40, 42, 43, 46, 47, 48, 52 (formerly streetcar Route 70), 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 59, 60, 61, 64, 66, 73, 75 and 79. Many of the numbered routes were once lettered or named bus routes these include Routes 1 (Boulevard Limited), 4 (Formerly Route C - Nedro Service), 8 (FOX - Frankford - Olney Express), 14 (Formerly Route B), 16 (Formerly Route C - Cheltenham Service), 18 (Formerly Route S), 19 (Formerly the Krewstown branch of Route W), 21 (Formerly Route D), 24 (Formerly Route N), 28 (Formerly the Rhawn Street branch of Route T). 35 (Formerly Route Z), 65 (Formerly Route E), 67 (Formerly Route W), 68 (Formerly Route M), 70 (Formerly Route Y), 77 (Formerly Route X), The first bus route was Route A, established in 1923 between Center City Philadelphia and Frankford Terminal via Strawberry Mansion, Hunting Park Ave., and Roosevelt Blvd. Route R replaced Route A along Hunting Park Ave, and Roosevelt Blvd. Route A then served Roxborough, Andorra within Philadelphia and Barren Hill in Montgomery County. Route A was eliminated and replaced by bus Routes 9, 27, and 32 on February 4, 1984.

New Alternate service via Easton Road added on September 3, 1961 replacing County Transit Company bus service.

23 | Chestnut Hill | Center City | Germantown Avenue, 11th Street, 12th Street | Midvale | Service on Route 23 used to operate via 10th & 11th Sts. Route 20 streetcar combined into Route 23 on December 29, 1957. Route 23 southbound service moved from 10th St. to 12th St. replacing southbound Route 20 streetcar.

Weekend streetcar service was restored on the Chestnut Hill (Westview Ave. to Bethlehem Pk.) portion of the route under the name of "Chestnut Hill Trolley" from September 13, 1992 until June 15, 1996. In Center City the "Welcome Line" trolley operated on 11th & 12th Sts. between Girard Ave. and Bainbridge St. in 1995 and during the holiday season of 1996 and 1997. Since then, trolleys service along the Route 23 has been non-existent. Restoration of streetcar service is questionable. The City of Philadelphia wants the trolleys back. SEPTA doesn't. All trackage on Germantown Ave. has been replaced with new rail since 1977. Trackage along 11th & 12th Sts. remain with small portions paved over. SEPTA does have plans in it long term Capital Budget (beyond 5 years) to purchase new trolley cars for the Route 23 and restore the rails. Missing from the Capital Budget is money to build a new trolley depot to house and maintain them. When trolleys were operating on the Route 23 it was considered the longest streetcar route in the world. Route 23 has the highest ridership of any SEPTA bus or trolley line (FY 2009: 6,612,788 Annual Riders). In 2016, Route 23 was split in two. The South Philadelphia portion of the route now operates as Route 45. | 24-hour service (North of Erie Avenue only) | 24 | Frankford Transportation Center | Rockledge, Bethayres, or Southampton | Pratt Street, Oxford Avenue, and Huntingdon Pike | Comly | Formerly labeled Route N.

Route 24 Express service discontinued after SEPTA's Railworks. Weekday service extended to Southampton replacing Routes 301 and 302 on April 1, 2001. The original Route 24 went via 15th and 16th Streets and York Road until 1929 as it was redundant to Routes 2, 55, and 66. | 25 | Frankford Transportation Center | Columbus Commons Shopping Center | Aramingo Avenue, Columbus Boulevard (Delaware Avenue) | Frankford | This route was originally a short dinky trolley line from Front St. & Girard Ave. (Girard Ave. MFL Station) to Cedar St. & Lehigh Ave..

Buses replaced streetcars on January 28, 1956. New branch of the Route 26 and Route S called the 26&S started service on February 25, 1973 and provided weekday service to Frankford from the Germantown area of Philadelphia. Service restructured on June 16, 1985 with Route 26 service rerouted east of Rising Sun & Olney Loop to serve Frankford Terminal replacing Route 26&S. Service along Rising Sun Ave. and Oxford Ave. to Fox Chase replaced by Route 18 (Formerly: Route S). An earlier Route 26 via the Kensington-6th and 7th Streets Line was eliminated in 1922. | 27 | Center City | Plymouth Meeting Mall or Barren Hill | Vine Street Expressway, Schuylkill Expressway, Henry Avenue, Ridge Pike | Allegheny | Service replaced Route A Express service via Henry Avenue and to Barren Hill on February 5, 1984. Service extended to Plymouth Meeting Mall on September 10, 1989. Service rerouted to serve the Metroplex Shopping Center on September 3, 2000. The southern terminal point of the route has been relocated several times. An earlier Route 27 via the Kensington-12th and 13th Streets Line was eliminated in 1922. | 28 | Fern Rock Transportation Center | Holmesburg | Cadwalader Avenue, Rhawn Street | Comly | Service introduced January 31, 1982 replacing the Rhawn Street branch of the Route T from Cottman & Torresdale Aves.

Trackless trolleys replaced streetcars on August 9, 1947. Service was cut back one block on the eastern end of the route from Water St. to Front St on April 3, 1993. Buses replaced trackless trolleys on February 23, 2003 along with service extended east to the Pier 70 Shopping Center. Buses replaced trackless trolleys due to the reconstruction of the Tasker Avenue Homes in the Grays Ferry section of the city that closed several streets permanently. Restoration of trackless trolley service is questionable. The wires are still up along Tasker and Morris Sts. with the exception of the area around the rebuilt Tasker Avenue Homes. Residents and city officials would like the trackless trolleys back. SEPTA with the purchase of cleaner hybrid buses feel restoring trackless trolleys would be not be in their best interest since only a few coaches and restoration of trackless trolley poles and wire would be needed on the western end of Routes 29. Also at issue is the extension of service to Pier 70 Shopping Center. The shopping center owner do not want trackless trolley wire poles erected on their property. Cutting the route back to Front St. would eliminate needed direct service for residents to the shopping center. (Also see Route 79 about trackless trolley service in South Philadelphia). | 30 | 69th Street Transportation Center | 30th Street Station | Haverford Avenue, Vine Street | Callowhill | This streetcar line had the shortest operation as a Subway-Surface Line.

Service extended to 69th Street Terminal on September 8, 1996. | 40th & Market Street to 30th Street Station (University City); route served only on weekdays. | 31 | 76th Street and City Avenue | City Hall | 63rd Street, Chestnut Street, Walnut Street, Market Street | Callowhill | This was the first streetcar line to operate into the Subway-Surface Tunnel on December 18, 1905. Subway-Surface Tunnel service withdrawn on June 17, 1907 with streetcars operating via Market St. to Front St., Service restored into the Subway-Surface Tunnel on December 28, 1930. Route 31 then ended at Market & 63rd. Route 69 streetcar line merged into Route 31 with service extended to Lansdowne & Haverford Aves. on September 11, 1938. Subway-Surface operation eliminated on May 15, 1949 due to MFL subway construction with service terminating at 40th & Market Sts. Buses replaced streetcars on June 16, 1956 with bus service extended back to City Hall via Market St., Service rerouted via Mantua (Route 38 routing) on an unknown date. After 1957, it was also rerouted from 65th & Vine to 63rd & Haverford, replacing part of Route 41. Service rerouted onto Chestnut and Walnut Sts. between 46th and 63rd Streets due to the Market Street El Reconstruction Project on September 7, 2003.

Service extended from Roxborough to Andorra on September 1, 2002 to allow small buses to replace large buses operating in the Andorra section of the city (See: Route 9). Service restructured back into "Manayunk Roxborough Loop" on November 12, 2006 due to route being below "SEPTA Service Standards". On June 19, 2011 service to Wissahickon loop was restored while the 35 was rerouted due to the 30 foot buses being phased out to have it go down Leverington Avenue instead off from Silverwood Street onto Main Street and then finishing at Ridge Avenue and Domino Lane, replacing the Route 61 to Summit loop. The original Route 35 streetcar went from West Philly to Fairmount Park via 49th Street, 52nd Street, and Parkside Avenue, and was replaced by Routes 38A and 70 in 1929. | 36 | 80th Street and Eastwick Avenue | 13th Street Station | Elmwood Avenue | Elmwood | Subway-Surface streetcar line.

This route was also known by its nickname "The Chester Short Line" Service to Center City Philadelphia via the Subway-Surface Tunnel began on February 15, 1911. The line ran from Chester via Essington Ave. (Currently known as the Industrial Highway)(PA 291) through the swamp area (now John Heintz-Tinicum Wildlife Refuge Center) before running on Eastwick Avenue (now abandoned). The line turned up Island Road (Avenue) then turned east on Woodland Avenue where it joined Subway-Surface Trolley Route 11 and Surface Streetcar Route 12. OWL (24-hour) service operated via Elmwood Avenue, replacing the Route 36 streetcar between Island Road and 49th Street and Woodland Avenue, to serve the late shift at the General Electric plant at 69th Street and Elmwood Ave. During World War II, Route 37 brought thousands of Philadelphia workers to industry jobs at Westinghouse, Baldwin Locomotive Works, and Sun Shipbuilding and elsewhere along the Delaware River waterfront and Chester. Six special routes that ran only at shift-change times were created to transport workers from Sun Ship (37A-37D) and Westinghouse (37E and 37F) to locations that regular Route 37 streetcars did not serve. At 1:18 a.m. on August 28, 1946, a crowded trolley (5106) and a truck collided on the Crum Creek Bridge. Both vehicles caught fire; all passengers escaped without injury, but the bridge was destroyed, and that was the end of trolley service to Chester, as buses replaced trolleys between the Westinghouse Loop (Lester) and Chester. The rest of the Route 37 trolley was converted to bus operation on November 5, 1955, with buses being redirected to the Snyder Ave. (BSL) Station in South Philadelphia replacing Bus Route 81 (former streetcar line) along Passyunk Ave., Trolley service between Center City and Westinghouse Loop was transferred to Subway-Surface Route 36. In the mid-1970s, service in the Airport area was rerouted via Lindbergh Blvd., 84th St, and Bartram Ave. due to the building of I-95 and Airport expansion. New service was introduced to the Eastwick Industrial Park on June 21, 1981, with service being rerouted to serve the nearby Auto Mall on September 9, 1990. PNC Eastwick service was introduced September 13, 1988, with service to Harrah's Philadelphia Casino & Racetrack introduced September 3, 2006. | 24-hour service (overnight service terminates at Harrah's Philadelphia Casino & Racetrack) | 38 | Wissahickon Transportation Center | Independence Square/5th and Market Streets | Belmont Avenue &Benjamin Franklin Parkway | Callowhill | The original streetcar line ran from Parkside Loop on Parkside Avenue (connections with the Fairmount Park Trolley line) to Delaware Avenue (now Columbus Boulevard) & Market Street. Streetcars were rerouted into the Subway-Surface Tunnel on August 7, 1908. Plans for a Subway-Surface Route 38 were already in the making as the PTC had the new routing down. The line was to enter & exit the same subway portal as current Subway-Surface Route 10 uses today at 36th & Market Streets, however the plan fell through. Bus service began on October 15, 1955 following its former trolley route to 33rd and Market Streets. Service was extended back to City Hall via Market Street on May 27, 1956. On September 1, 1960 service was extended to the Presidential Apartments (near City Avenue & Presidential Boulevard) via Belmont Ave. replacing Route XB bus service. New Express service was established on weekdays and Saturdays via the Schuylkill Expressway and Girard Avenue between Center City and Parkside. At the same time service was extended to Broad & Spruce Streets in Center City Philadelphia. Local service via Powhattan Village was transferred to Route 30 with all buses operating via the express route on June 16, 1963. Service was extended to the Bala Cynwyd Shopping Center on January 28, 1973. Express service via the Schuylkill Epxressway was eliminated in favor of new local service via the Ben Franklin Parkway replacing the "Cultural Loop" bus on June 19, 1983. This change allowed SEPTA to promote this bus route to out of town tourist. On June 15, 1986 due to bridge weight restrictions on 34th St. at the Philadelphia Zoo service was divided into two routes "via Zoo" with service operating via Pennsylvania Ave., 32nd St. and Girard Ave. and "Via Mantua" providing service through the residential Mantua section of the city. Westbound service through Center City was moved from Chestnut St. to Market St. on June 11, 1989 to allow the conversion of Chestnut Street from a transitway back to a regular city street. Service was extended to the Wissahickon Transfer Center on September 9, 1990. On May 16, 1993 service was restructured by eliminating the "Via Zoo" routing (service transferred to Route 76) and service to the Bala Cynwd Shopping Center. New service to the relocated "Please Touch Museum" in Fairmount Park added on November 2, 2008. Today the current Route 38 does not resemble the old Route 38 streetcar service. An Annual Service Plan proposal in 1996 to restore Route 38 to its original Baring Street streetcar routing was rejected by the SEPTA board. | 39 | Strawberry Mansion | Fishtown | Susquehanna Avenue, Dauphin Street | Midvale | This was a combined streetcar route referred to as the Route 8/39 streetcar line. Both streetcar lines started at the same point at 33rd & Dauphin Sts.

(York-Dauphin MFL Station) where they separated and went to two different designations (Route 8 to Richmond & Norris Sts. and Route 39 to Richmond & Cumberland Sts.). Buses replaced streetcars on both lines on February 25, 1956. On June 16, 1974 Route 8 was reduced to a short shuttle bus line from York-Dauphin MFL station to Richmond & Norris Sts. This left only the Route 39 as the only bus route on Dauphin and Susquehanna Sts., On February 8, 1998 eastbound service was rerouted via 5th St., Lehigh Ave., and American St. due to the permanent closure of Dauphin St. between 5th and American Streets.

LUCY routes (Route 316)The LUCY routes (Loop through University CitY) loop through a circular route in University City, Philadelphia. There are two lines—Green and Gold—both of which travel along the same routes, but in opposite directions. Because the line is a loop, there are technically no terminal stops, however the line's schedules list 30th Street Station as its end destination point; the buses, in fact, take their layovers on JFK Boulevard just west of 30th Street. | Route | Major streets | District[2] | Notes | | Green Loop | Market Street, Civic Center Boulevard, 38th Street | Contract operations out of Germantown Depot | Operates in clockwise loop | | Gold Loop | Contract operations out of Germantown Depot | Operates in counterclockwise loop | |
