Subway and Bus Routes

• Cecil B. Moore, located four blocks south of the campus at Cecil B. Moore and Broad Sts.

Additional Subway Routes and Trolleys

• The Broad Street Line/Ridge Spur is an off-shoot of the main Broad Street Line running under Ridge Avenue. Diagonal to Broad Street, this line runs to Chinatown or 8th and Market Streets.

The "C" bus runs north and south on Broad St.

Purchasing Tokens
Tokens may be purchased in packages of five from the MCPC receptionist during office hours (8:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.).

Tokens may also be purchased on the bus or at Cecil B. Moore subway stop.

For infrequent use, single tokens work well. Cash payment is an option but exact change is necessary. Day Passes and Weekly Trans Passes are available depending on travel needs.

Helpful Hints

Subway service stops at midnight each day. Taxis and buses run continuously.

Subways run underground in the same direction as traffic above ground.
