For travel to Center City, officials said riders can board SEPTA’s Broad Street Line southbound and for travel out of Center City, riders can board the Broad Street Line northbound to Fern Rock Transportation Center to connect with outbound Glenside, Lansdale/Doylestown, Warminster, and West Trenton Line trains.
Also, officials noted that the project has been scheduled during the summer, when ridership is traditionally lower, in an effort to impact the fewest number of regular customers.
