SEPTA has revealed more details on the proposed Route 49, a bus service that would connect the rapidly developing Brewerytown section of the city with Grays Ferry via Fairmount Park and University City. Plans were presented at a community meeting on Tuesday. The route would provide a direct transit option between 30th Street Station and the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. Here’s a map for the proposed route (via universitycity.org):

The bus service would run every 15 minutes during peak hours on weekdays (6 – 9 a.m. and 3 – 7 p.m.) and with 20-35 minute intervals on weekends.
More details for the proposed route, including images and graphs, are available on the University City District’s website.
Currently, SEPTA is gathering input about the proposed plans for the route from community members. If you would like to provide feedback, email: ServicePlanning@septa.org

This would be so great! This would connect me to so many people I currently have a very hard time getting to from where I live in Fairmount to where they are in West Philly & Grays Ferry!
