SEPTA’s Market-Frankford Line is getting simpler

The company, Hitachi Rail STS USA, will deliver the first 200 cars starting in 2029.

SEPTA’s CEO said the rail cars, which have been around since the late ‘90s, have “reached the end of their useful life” and that “commuters deserve better.”

A vigorous cleaning program starts this weekend on SEPTA’s Market-Frankford and Broad Street lines through the beginning of August.
