Now for the Big Ones. SEPTA survived the Eagles parade, moving more than 400,000 people in and out of the city in a compressed period of time, with some glitches, overcrowding, and tense moments but no glaring transit-related disasters.

The fire, spotted on railroad tracks near the station, was reported to the Philadelphia Fire Department around 10:45 a.m. on March 5.

The transit agency also introduced new spring bus and metro schedules on Sunday and will implement more route schedules for the season on Monday. The newly renamed bus and metro lines have been popping up on SEPTA's websites throughout 2025 and can also be found on the spring schedules.

“The transition from letters to numbers was a key discussion point in both projects, and rider feedback consistently indicated strong support for simplifying the system. Standardizing our bus numbering enhances clarity, improves navigation, and makes SEPTA’s network more user-friendly for all passengers.”

SEPTA is implementing the 12-month pilot program at 20 intersections in Philadelphia. Golden tells Philly Mag that SEPTA is focusing on SEPTA’s 47 bus route, which runs north-south from Whitman, through Center City, and up to East Oak Lane. The pilot program will focus on the Center City-adjacent chunk of the route.
