SEPTA Route C

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

SEPTA Route C is a transit bus public transportation line in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania operated by the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority.

The line operates primarily upon Broad Street. Buses alternate between running between from Cheltentham Avenue and Ogontz Avenue in West Oak Lane and City Hall, with every other bus originating at Fern Rock Transportation Center, joining into Broad Street at Rising Sun Avenue and terminating at Geary Avenue in the South Philadelphia.

Although the routing of Route C is highly redundant to the Broad Street Line subway, SEPTA justifies this alignment because it provides more frequent stops than the subway, thus better serving passenger with stops between subway stops. ^[1] In FY 2003, the route had 5,769,173 annual passengers, and 17, 498 average weekday passengers, for a total of $5,924,941 in passenger revenue. The route, with 36 vehicles at peak hours, cost $12,581,951 to operate, yielding a 47% farebox recovery ratio.^[1]
