Route of the Week - 10

April 23, 2018

This week, we're checking out one of SEPTA’s Subway-Surface Trolley Routes, the Route 10! This route was established as a Subway-Surface Trolley Route in 1906 by the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company.

Like SEPTA's other Trolley Routes, the Route 10 starts its journey at 13th and Market. From there, it weaves through the winding trolley tunnels beneath Center City. Eventually the Route 10 makes its way above ground at the 36th Street Portal. The Route 10 is the only Subway-Surface Trolley Route to use the 36th Street portal. Routes 11, 13, 34 and 36 all exit from the 40th Street Portal.

On a typical weekday, the Route 10 will carry 13,645 passengers and travel 1,652 miles. The Route 10 is constantly moving, running 24 hours a day, 7 days a week!

The Route 10 ends its journey at the Malvern Loop in Overbook, where it shares an off-street loop with the Route 46.
