Cecil B. Moore, also known as Cecil B. Moore / Temple University, formerly Columbia, is a subway stop on the SEPTA Broad Street Line in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is a local station that has four tracks, with only the outer two being served. There are separate fare control areas for northbound and southbound trains, with no crossover, and a large pavilion entrance with an escalator on the northbound side. This is the main station serving Temple University, and therefore is one of the busiest stops on the line. Susquehanna–Dauphin Station, six blocks north, also serves Temple University, and although it doesn't bear it in its name, is closer to many of the academic and residential buildings on campus than is Cecil B. Moore.

As of June 2007, Cecil B. Moore had an average of 5,644 daily boardings.[1]
