SEPTA Route 93 also serves Pottstown. On weekdays and Saturdays, it serves only as a connector to Pottstown between 6AM to 9:30PM. Meaning riders can only board the bus outbound, or exit the bus inbound to Pottstown at those times weekday buses terminate at Montgomery County Community College. When PART is not running, between 9:30 and 6AM, SEPTA Riders on Route 93 can board and exit any stop in both directions. During these hours, SEPTA Route 93 also terminates on High and York Streets instead of Montgomery County Community College. On Saturday and Sundays, all trips terminate at High and York Streets, but on Sundays, riders of SEPTA Route 93 can board and exit any stop all day as PART does not operate Sundays.
