SEPTA is adjusting some services over the upcoming holiday weekends, in an effort to keep schedules consistent with changes in riders’ needs. Service will also be added where possible to accommodate upcoming events.
All SEPTA services will be available throughout the holidays, with some reductions Dec. 24-26, and Dec. 31-Jan. 2. This is due to expected reductions in ridership, as most regular SEPTA customers won’t be headed out for their normal commute on these specific days.
Christmas Eve, Saturday, Dec. 24: All services – the Market-Frankford Line, Broad Street Line, Regional Rail lines, trolley lines and bus routes – will run on a Saturday Schedule.
