Route of the Week - 33
May 18, 2018
This week’s Route of the Week is the Route 33, which runs between Penn's Landing and 23rd & Venango. Streetcars originally traveled on the Route 33 via Arch Street. However, in 1955, buses took over and the routing eventually changed to Market Street. In 1992, the Route 33 was extended to Penn’s Landing, its current terminus.
After leaving Penn’s Landing, the Route 33 travels down Market Street through Center City, and eventually winds it way through North Philadelphia to SEPTA’s 23rd and Venango Bus Loop.
