SEPTA City Transit Division Surface Routes
The Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority operates the overwhelming majority of Philadelphia public transit within their City Transit Division. Although perhaps best known for the Market-Frankford Line and Broad Street Line, they are also responsible for all 73 of the trolley and bus lines within city limits. Of these, five routes (10, 11, 13, 34, and 36) are classified as "Subway-Surface" Trolley lines as the part of their route from the 40th street portal to City Hall station runs underground, immediately adjacent to Market-Frankford tracks. Additionally, seven other routes are operated with streetcars that run exclusively above-ground, and three other routes (59, 66 and 75) in the northeastern section of the city operate trackless trolley vehicles.

Famous quotes containing the words city, transit, division, surface and/or routes:
“The surprise of animals... in and out, cats and dogs and a milk goat and chickens and guinea hens, all taken for granted, as if man was intended to live on terms of friendly intercourse with the rest of creation instead of huddling in isolation on the fourteenth floor of an apartment house in a city where animals occurred behind bars in the zoo.”
—Elizabeth Janeway (b. 1913)
“My esoteric doctrine, is that if you entertain any doubt, it is safest to take the unpopular side in the first instance. Transit from the unpopular, is easy ... but from the popular to the unpopular is so steep and rugged that it is impossible to maintain it.”
—William Lamb Melbourne, 2nd Viscount (1779–1848)
“If the technology cannot shoulder the entire burden of strategic change, it nevertheless can set into motion a series of dynamics that present an important challenge to imperative control and the industrial division of labor. The more blurred the distinction between what workers know and what managers know, the more fragile and pointless any traditional relationships of domination and subordination between them will become.”
—Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)
“All forms of beauty, like all possible phenomena, contain an element of the eternal and an element of the transitory—of the absolute and of the particular. Absolute and eternal beauty does not exist, or rather it is only an abstraction creamed from the general surface of different beauties. The particular element in each manifestation comes from the emotions: and just as we have our own particular emotions, so we have our own beauty.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
“The myth of independence from the mother is abandoned in mid- life as women learn new routes around the mother—both the mother without and the mother within. A mid-life daughter may reengage with a mother or put new controls on care and set limits to love. But whatever she does, her child’s history is never finished.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
