University City (SEPTA station)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

University City is a station along the SEPTA Main Line. The station serves the area around the University of Pennsylvania, and is located at South Street & Convention Avenue. It serves the R1, R2, and R3 Regional Rail Lines.

The station is less than a block from the University of Pennsylvania's Franklin Field and the Palestra. It made a brief appearance in the movie Unbreakable as Elijah falls down the stairs to the platform, however it is portrayed as having turnstiles, when in fact Regional Rail uses conductors and tickets. In reality only SEPTA subway stops have turnstiles.
