Mass Transit Service Adjustments, Road Restrictions, Flight Delays

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – Due to Tuesday's snow, SEPTA has announced some bus route detours and PATCO will run a snow schedule.

On the Market-Frankford Line, all trains are making all station stops due to the extremely cold weather. There is no A/B express service.

All SEPTA trains, buses and trolleys will operate on a normal weekday schedule on Tuesday, February 17, 2015.

However, SEPTA says the snowfall for the region could cause service issues for certain bus routes that operate in areas that have been historically affected by winter storms.  The following routes are on detour: 14, 18, 27, 38, 44, 52, 58, 95, 97, 99, 103, 107, 114, 115, 120, 123, 126, G, H and XH.

In addition, the route 35 bus has been suspended due to unsafe road conditions.
