8th-Market Station
Broad Street Line and Market–Frankford Line · end of the line and transfer
8th-Market is stop number 13 of 27 on the Market–Frankford Line, counting out from 69th Street Transit Center, and stop 15 counting back from Frankford Transit Center.
It is one of the three places where two lines meet: the Market–Frankford Line and the Broad Street Line share the name but not the platforms, so a transfer here means walking between them. How long that walk takes is not in the published data, so this site does not put a number on it.

Changing lines at 8th-Market
Change here between the Broad Street Line and Market–Frankford Line. The two lines use different platforms — 4 platform identifiers sit under this station name — and how long the walk between them takes is not published, so there is no number for it here or in the trip planner.
This is the one transfer of the three that the data does not group by itself: the spur platforms and the Market–Frankford platforms carry different identifiers and no parent station, so they are matched here by name and by the 5.7 m between them.

| Previous stop | 13th Street | 0.42 mi (679 m) | 2 min |
| Next stop | 5th Street/Independence Hall | 0.25 mi (401 m) | 1 min |
