This week we are going to explore SEPTA’s Route 31. SEPTA’s Route 31 travels between Overbrook Park and City Hall in Center City via Lansdowne Avenue and Market Street. The 31 was the first streetcar line to operate into the Subway-Surface Tunnel on December 18, 1905. This route ran in the tunnel until 1907, when the service moved to Market Street.
