Officials from Lansdale and SEPTA were able to celebrate a completed project recently by marking the opening of the new Railroad Avenue bus stop, which creates another link in the town’s transit system.

“This is our newest facility at the Lansdale Station complex, offering seamless connections between SEPTA regional rail, behind me, and bus services,” said SEPTA General Manager Jeff Knueppel.

“The leadership of Lansdale should be commended for fostering smart growth that benefits the community, with a foundation made strong by public transportation access,” he said, writes Dan Sokil in the Lansdale Reporter.

The new bus shelters are bracketed by new streetlights and landscaping, with signs indicating the times and routes of SEPTA’s bus 96, which goes to and from Norristown, and bus 132 to and from the Montgomery Mall. Knueppel said it’s the third major transportation upgrade in Lansdale over the past decade, following the new Ninth Street rail station that opened in 2015 and the parking garage that opened last year. All three can be tied together with SEPTA’s new key cards, as the transit agency phases out tokens and paper tickets.
