Queen Village Transit Guide

1. SEPTA in Queen Village

SEPTA, the region’s transit provider, can get you where you want to go. SEPTA serves Philadelphia, Bucks, Montgomery, Chester and Delaware counties with buses, trolleys, rapid transit, and commuter trains (”Regional Rail”).

SEPTA can take you from Queen Village to the airport, Amtrak’s 30th Street Station and nearly every metro Philly shopping center, major employer, museum, school, university, park, and historic site.

SEPTA has five bus routes serving Queen Village. To go to Center City, use buses on 3rd St. or 7th St. (returning on 4th and 8th respectively). You can also use the Columbus Blvd. bus, though service is less frequent and Columbus has poor interface with Center City streets.

To go westward, a bus on Lombard serves University City, returning on South St.  At the opposite end of Queen Village, a Washington Ave. bus runs to West Philly and, eastbound, to Pier 70 (Wal-Mart, Home Depot, SuperFresh, etc.) via Columbus Blvd. You can reach Center City via either route by transferring to the Broad St. Subway (BSL).
