The SEPTA Trolley Tunnel that connects West Philadelphia with Center City will be closed every night from 12 a.m. until 5 a.m., beginning Sunday, Dec. 13 until further notice, SEPTA has announced. During the closure hours, SEPTA crews will be working on COVID-19 maintenance, which includes deep cleaning of the stations.
During the overnight tunnel closure, Route 10, 11, 13, 34 and 36 trolleys will be on diversion to 40th and Market streets where riders can transfer for free to or from Market-Frankford Line trains or the overnight MFL Owl buses at the 40th Street Station for travel to/from Center City.
Trolleys will continue to operate on their regular route throughout West and Southwest Philadelphia.

So, there are few riders between midnight and 5AM, not a big surprise. But doesn’t that mean that the stations would be easy to clean between trolleys?
Its these type of decisions that make it hard for alot of the pubic to understand or trust SEPTA. Plus, when was the last time you were in a station that looked clean?

This makes no sense. Deep cleaning doesn’t do anything. They should just buy a ton of HEPA air filters and run those.
