SEPTA Metro consists of twelve lines containing thirteen trains; The L and B, both of which were inherited from the former Philadelphia Transportation Company, and originally built by the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company.
SEPTA was created in 1962, and purchased PTC's transit operations on September 30, 1968. The former Philadelphia Suburban Transit Company's Red Arrow Lines followed on January 29, 1970, after which SEPTA designated the city services as its "City Transit Division". Many of today's bus and trackless trolley routes were once streetcar lines.
In 2021, SEPTA proposed rebranding their rail transit service as "SEPTA Metro", in order to make the system easier to navigate. Under this proposal, the subway–surface lines will be rebranded as the "T" lines with a green color and numeric suffixes for each service and Route 10 would be renamed "T1 Lancaster Avenue."
