The station serves as the 13th Street stop on the Market–Frankford Line, and as the Juniper terminus for all five routes of the Subway–Surface Trolley Lines.

The Market–Frankford Line platforms are located one story below ground level, connected to the Center City Commuter Connection concourse. The south concourse, accessible from the eastbound platform, features underground access to SEPTA's headquarters and transit museum, located at 1234 Market Street.
