Draft:SEPTA bus service

Bus service from the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) is split into 3 different divisions. The City Transit division operates mostly within Philadelphia city limits with some routes extending into the suburbs. The Victory/Red Arrow division operates routes that operate mostly in Delaware County with some routes extending into adjacent counties and one route operating across state lines into Delaware. The frontier division operates routes that run in Bucks, Montgomery, and Chester Counties with one route operating into New Jersey.

Currently there are 9 districts (Allegheny, Callowhill, Comly, Elmwood, Frankford, Frontier, Midvale, Southern and Victory). Contract operations operate out of what used to be Germantown Depot. Route 204 is operated by Krapfs.
