SEPTA will adjust some bus and Market-Frankford Line schedules to reflect ridership trends, improve service reliability and prepare for more customers this spring. The changes are part of the annual Spring Transit Schedules that go into effect on February 27-28.

Transit modes include buses, subways, city and suburban trolleys, and the Norristown High Speed Line. There are no changes to Regional Rail with these new timetables.

The Spring Transit Schedules are aimed at enhancing the service that is currently available and factor in ongoing challenges such as pandemic-related staffing shortages. SEPTA will not eliminate any routes or lines, however, adjustments will be made to service frequencies based on ridership.

Slight frequency reductions will be made on Routes 2, 6, 19, 20, 24, 29, 33, 45, 46, 52, 53, 57, 79, 88, 124, 125 and L. Some of those resources will be shifted to other routes, including Routes G and 70, which have seen higher demand. This also gives SEPTA more flexibility to cover runs in response to increased ridership and operator availability.

Similarly, to rebalance service throughout the day on the Market-Frankford Line, service frequency during the traditional morning and afternoon rush hours will change from five to six minutes. There are no changes to Broad Street and Norristown High Speed Line timetables under this schedule change.
