In 1895, these companies began uniting under three main operations Electric Traction Company, People's Traction Company, and Philadelphia Transportation Company (PTC). The following year, these three consolidated into the new Union Traction Company. In 1902, Union Traction Company went bankrupt; the company was reorganized under the name of Philadelphia Rapid Transit (PRT) on July 1, 1902. Despite efforts by Thomas E. Mitten, PRT went bankrupt in 1939. The new Philadelphia Transportation Company (PTC) took over its operation on January 1, 1940. In the 1950s, National City Lines took over management of the PTC and began converting streetcar lines to bus routes. SEPTA, created in 1962, bought and took over PTC transit operations on September 30, 1968. After the purchase of the Red Arrow Lines on January 29, 1970, SEPTA designated the city services as its "City Transit Division". Today, these bus or trackless trolley routes were once operated as streetcar lines: Routes 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 12, 17, 23, 25, 26, 29, 30, 31, 33, 37, 38, 39, 40, 42, 43, 46, 47, 48, 52 (formerly streetcar Route 70), 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 59, 60, 61, 64, 66, 73, 75 and 79. Many of the numbered routes were once lettered or named bus routes these include Routes 1, 8, 14, 18, 19, 21, 24, 35, 65, 67, 68, 70, 77 and 80. The first bus route was Route A, established in 1923 between Center City Philadelphia and Frankford Terminal via Strawberry Mansion, Hunting Park Ave., and Roosevelt Blvd. Route R replaced Route A along Hunting Park Ave, and Roosevelt Blvd. Route A then served Roxborough, Andorra within Philadelphia and Barren Hill in Montgomery County. Route A was eliminated and replaced by bus Routes 9, 27, and 32 on February 4, 1984. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「SEPTA City Transit Division surface routes」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
