Route of the Week: 34
March 21, 2022
Route 34 is a trolley route.
Route 34 begins underground at 13th & Market Streets in Center City. It then travels through Center City, stopping at 15th Street, 19th Street, and 22nd Street Stations before it moves into University City at 30th Street. It then continues west and comes aboveground at 40th Street Portal. It then goes onto Baltimore Avenue and travels through West Philly until it reaches its terminus - or final destination - at 61st & Baltimore Avenue.
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 trolleys 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 trolley - $2 if you have a SEPTA Key card with Travel Wallet and you can TRANSFER for FREE.
