PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – Due to Tuesday's snow, SEPTA has announced some bus route detours and PATCO will run a snow schedule.
On the Market-Frankford Line, all trains are making all station stops due to the extremely cold weather. There is no A/B express service.
All SEPTA trains, buses and trolleys will operate on a normal weekday schedule on Tuesday, February 17, 2015.
