Starting September 5th 2026, NJ Transit Routes 313, 315, 317, and 551, will terminate at the PPA Transportation Center (Formerly the Greyhound Terminal) located on Filbert Street between 10th and 11th Street in Philadelphia.

NJ Transit says going inbound to Philadelphia, passengers can also request stops at the following stops in the city of Philadelphia

  • 6th Street at Race Street
  • Market Street at 7th Street
  • Market Street at 8th Street
  • Market Street at 9th Street
  • Market Street at 10th Street
  • PPA Transportation Center

However outbound riders FROM Philadelphia can only board at the PPA Transportation Center, and must have a valid ticket prior to boarding, as cash will not be accepted onboard.

These routes originally ran into the Greyhound terminal until February 28th 2022, when NJ Transit pulled buses out of the terminal due to safety concerns with the layout of the terminal. NJ Transit truncated these routes, making them terminate instead at Walter Rand Transportation Center in Camden, and having riders transfer to other services into Philadelphia. This decision was ultimately changed, and instead these routes would run into Philadelphia, but would either do the local loop via Market, Broad, and Vine Streets, or operate to 30th Street Station.

The Greyhound Terminal initially closed June 23rd 2023, and all Greyhound operations was moved to 6th and Market Streets in Philadelphia, before being moved again to Front and Spring Garden Streets. During this time, NJ Transit buses would continue operating their respective routes instead of following the Greyhound operations to their new locations.

On May 1st 2026, the Philadelphia Greyhound terminal re-opened paid for and operated by the Philadelphia Parking Authority, or PPA, with Greyhound and Flixbus service immediately serving there. The Greyhound Terminal was re-named PPA Transportation Center to reflect the new ownership.

Starting September 5th 2026, NJ Transit service will also be returning to the now named PPA Transportation Center.

I have been with Virtual Transit Center since it's conception as the "Dash Forums" back in 2008. Since then, I have been writing and doing YouTube side by side, focusing both on Transportation and Gaming. Most of my knowledge comes from SEPTA as I lived in Philadelphia for most of my life. As of 2026, I am on YouTube as DashTransit and TheDashOfficial.

I started off my online career being known as "septa_kid" go figure, a SEPTA name. When I started growing my interest in NJ Transit, I would go on being "septa/njt rider"

When I started my YouTube channel (DashTransit) it was originally called "njt5329" and the channel was just clips of buses. Mostly SEPTA and NJT. A Fujifilm Finepix was used in this era.

Starting in July 2011, the Canon SX130IS camera became the camera of the channel, bringing HD documentary-style videos much like my buddy (trainman1971) did for DVD for many years past. This is when the channel became known as "Transit Action Series" I myself would still go by septa/njt rider in other capacities.

In May 2012, the original Canon SX130IS retired, and then all videos were recorded off a mobile phone until eventually uploading proved too difficult due to hardships IRL. I would eventually abandon YouTube videos as a whole, and focus more on studying transit history. My attention would also go more towards facebook.

In 2013ish I grew interest in a game called OMSI 2, and that caused me to start posting on a new YouTube channel called "Dash5155" which was named from the first SEPTA NABI I rode on (again, go figure, SEPTA history).

Starting in 2017, I used a Canon SX200IS from Basview to reboot the "Transit Action Series" channel that otherwise was dead for years prior. The energy that I felt from once again publishing transit content made me want to go back into my passions.

On April 19th, 2019, I would purchase a Canon SX710HS camera, and do what is now known as "TrAcSe" for YouTube. The channel itself would be re-named to DashTransit and eventually all my online handles would be DashTransit.
