The Route 106 Map
Route 106 is a former Red Arrow Line bus serviced by Philadelphia Suburban Transit Company (PSTC). Back in these days, it was known as Route "Y." Route Y ran from 69th Street Terminal to Ardmore until 1974, when it was renamed Route 106 and SEPTA took over Red Arrow bus operations. In 2011, service on the 106 was extended to Paoli during peak hours, providing transportation for more commuters and suburban travelers.
