Did Your SEPTA Route Change Its Name Today? New System Goes Into Effect for Bus, Trolley, Subway Lines
Today, your SEPTA route may have changed its name. SEPTA officials have launched a new initiative to make its system easier to use and navigate. Beginning Monday, Feb. 23, and Tuesday, Feb. 24, riders will see these changes appear on new schedules and on SEPTA’s webpages.
As part of this renaming initiative, riders will notice new names and designations for subway and trolley lines. Numbers will now indicate bus lines, and all metro lines will be marked with letters. SEPTA officials have said the updates will continue throughout 2025, including introducing new signage at transit stations.
Here’s an overview of the changes that will occur this year:
Bus Line Changes
- The G will become 63.
- The H will become 71.
- The J will become 41.
- The L will become 51.
- The R will become 82.
- The XH will become 81.
- The K bus will remain as is for the present.
In addition to SEPTA bus numbering changes, SEPTA will move toward using red to mark frequent routes and black to indicate standard routes, according to an NBC10 Philadelphia report.
Metro Line Changes
- The Broad Street Line will now become the B. The Local line will be B1, the Express will be B2, and the Spur will be B3.

Ranking All 14 Eagles Head Coaches In Super Bowl Era
8- Rick Kotite- 1991-1994 (36-28)
Kotite is literally the standard for bad coaching in both Philly and New York. When it started to fall apart for Doug Pederson, and later when Sirianni had his down year, Kotite is who people compared them to.
Yes he won a playoff game. But after that, it was a disaster. He started out 1994 7-2, and the future seemed bright. Then he imploded, lost the last 7 games of the season, and finished last in the NFC East. New owner Jeffrey Lurie fired him, and that was it for Kotite in Philly. It got no better for him in his next job with the Jets.

No head coach had a better start to their career than Chip Kelly. His first season had Eagles fans worshipping him. We convinced ourselves he was a genius who was going to change the game. Then the league adjusted to his scheme, and he had no answers. After getting them to the playoffs in year 1, he never got back and got fired before the end of year 3.
What makes him more hated, is how he pushed out talented players. They bled talent all 3 seasons he was there. Desean Jackson has a career year, he gets cut for nothing. LeSean McCoy gets traded a year later. His style and attitude wore people out fast. He got one more job with the 49ers after the Eagles fired him. They fired him after a single season. He is just lucky Rich Kotite exists or he would be lower on this list.
