City Hall is a subway station on SEPTA's Broad Street Line in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The station is located in Center City Philadelphia underneath Philadelphia City Hall and is the busiest station on the line, serving 57,000 passengers daily.^[1] City Hall station is served by Local, Express, and Special "Sport Express" trains. Entrances are located on both the east and west sides of City Hall as well as in the central courtyard.

[edit] Interchanges

A free interchange is available between all of the subway lines here, including the 15th Street stop for the Market–Frankford Line and all SEPTA Subway–Surface Trolley Lines.

The station is connected to the Center City Commuter Connection underground concourse, which connects to Suburban Station, thus providing access to SEPTA Regional Rail. City Hall Station is also connected to the Broad Street Line's Walnut–Locust Station, which in turn is connected to PATCO Speedline's 12–13th & Locust Station and 15–16th & Locust Station. However, no free interchange is available to any of these stations.

[edit] Future rehabilitation

Dating back to 1928, City Hall was an original station along the Broad Street Line. Currently, SEPTA and the City of Philadelphia are designing a US $100,000,000 refurbishment of City Hall station.^[2]
