SEPTA Route 50 and Route 150 History

SEPTA’s modern routes 50 and 150 were established on February 11th 2007, both of which provided new service to Parx Casino.

  • Route 50 would provide service between Frankford Transit Center and Parx Casino via Roosevelt Boulevard, Ashton Road, Cardinal Health, Franklin Mall, and Knights Road.
  • Route 150 would provide service between Plymouth Meeting Mall and Parx Casino via the Pennsylvania Turnpike

These routes would come along side re-routes of routes 1, 127, and 130 which rould also serve Parx Casino on the same date. SEPTA route 20 would also get a night time extension to Parx Casino on the same date.

Current routes 50 and 150 have not gone through any changes since they were created, but both routes are set to be discontinued as part of SEPTA New Bus Network on in different phases (see new bus network changes below)
