ROTW: 17
March 14, 2022
Route 17 is a bus route.
Route 17 begins at Broad & Pattinson in South Philly by the Broad Street Line stop NRG Station [and Citizens Bank Park, Wells Fargo Center, and Lincoln Financial Field]. It then goes west until 20th Street - at which point it travels north. It stays on 20th Street until it reaches 20th & Market Streets in Center City. Then - it turns and goes east on Market Street until it reaches Penn's Landing in Old City.
One of the best parts of this Route is that it's a 15-15-5 route. That means - it runs every 15 minutes or less for at least 15 hours a day (6a-9p), 5 days a week. If you're going within that time period - the buses are running so frequently they aren't even listed on the schedule. You can see where it is in real time with TransitView - also available on the SEPTA App.
It costs $2.50 cash (exact change required) to ride the bus - $2 if you have a SEPTA Key card with Travel Wallet and you can TRANSFER for FREE.
