Route of the Week – 16
September 13, 2016
This week, we’ll be taking a closer look at SEPTA’s Route 16 Bus.
Route 16 came into existence fairly recently, when Route C was renamed in 2012. Route C buses operated on two different route patterns, so, making a distinction between them made a whole lot of sense. Thus, Route C became Route 4 and Route 16.
Route 16 currently operates along Broad Steet between Cheltenham Avenue, the Ogontz bus loop, and City Hall. Travelling up and down Broad on a 9.6 mile route, the 16 is a great way to get to Center City from North Philadelphia, or vice versa. It also stops at Olney Transportation Center, connecting with 10 separate routes from there.
Whether you’re travelling to Cheltenham Square, Dilworth Park, or anywhere in between, let the Route 16 Bus take you there!
