40th Street station (SEPTA)

40th Street station is an underground station on the SEPTA Metro L, located the intersection of 40th Street and Market Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on the line between the Spruce Hill and Powelton Village neighborhoods in the University City District of West Philadelphia. The station serves a major shopping corridor of West Philadelphia on 40th Street, as well as the campus of the University of Pennsylvania, which lies three blocks south of the station.

The station is served by SEPTA City Bus routes 30, 40 and LUCY. The station also serves as the inbound terminal for the SEPTA subway-surface trolley lines when services are diverted from the Market Street tunnels –– on Sundays & Mondays from 12:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m. and during any other unforeseen circumstances. All T trolley routes (except T1, which boards on Filbert Street west of 40th Street a quarter block north of Market Street) start their outbound trips at the intersection of 40th Street and Market Street, just outside entrances to the Market–Frankford platforms. Inbound trips end on Filbert Street just east of 40th Street a quarter block north, and transferring passengers then have to walk south on 40th Street to the Market-Frankford entrances at Market Street.
