Route Identifier Kits
If you have trouble seeing routes or stops, SEPTA has a route identifier kit. This kit has a 4×7-inch holder to show your bus route number and sets of numbers in large text and braille. Operators will look for people with route identifiers. Operators will stop vehicles close to the customer and call out the route number. To get a kit, call 215-580-7145.
Stop Assistance Cards
These cards are free. They show SEPTA employees that you need help. Employees will make sure you use the correct stop. Use the cards on the bus, subway, trolley, and Regional Rail. To get cards, call 215-580-7145 or TDD/TTY 215-580-7712.
