    November Transit Schedule Change

    Sunday, November 15/Monday, November 16

    – SEPTA is currently operating a modified Summer Schedule. The November schedule change will represent a modified Spring Schedule with school service added for both parochial and public schools and service frequency modifications to reflect changing ridership levels.

    – Service on routes currently operating 15-15-5 (15 minutes or less, 15 hours a day, 5 days per week Monday-Friday) will be maintained within these guidelines.

    – Change Highlights:

      • Broad Street Line Express Service will operate before 10:00 a.m. and after 2:00 p.m.
      • Between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m., Broad Street Line Local service will operate every 7 minutes offering a comparable level of frequency for midday and evening travel.

    *** All Night Weekend Train Service will be suspended to allow for concentrated station and vehicle cleaning.

    *** This change reflects restrictions on late night and event activities across the City due to COVID-19 regulations and current ridership patterns

    *** Owl Bus service on Friday and Saturday evening will serve designated Bus stops adjacent to all Market Frankford and Broad Street Line Stations

    *** Essential workers will continue to be served for weekend, late night travel by Owl Bus service.
