69th Street Transit Center Station
Market–Frankford Line and Norristown High Speed Line · end of the line and transfer
69th Street Transit Center is where the Market-Frankford Line All Stops starts, 26 stops from Frankford Transit Center at the other end.
It is one of the three places where two lines meet: the Market–Frankford Line and the Norristown High Speed 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 69th Street Transit Center
Change here between the Market–Frankford Line and Norristown High Speed 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.
Both lines end here, which is unusual: it is the far west end of one and the city end of the other, so every through passenger changes trains.
