Closed

A number of minor stops were closed with the conversion of the system from streetcars to light rail – for example, 22 pre-1993 stops on the Overbrook line were replaced with 8 stations when the line reopened in 2004.[7] Several batches of stops have closed since the mid-1990s. Six were closed on September 5, 1999, when the 47D Drake shuttle was discontinued.[10] Ten were closed on March 27, 2011, when the Brown Line was discontinued as part of systemwide cuts.[11] Eleven more were closed on June 25, 2012, due to low ridership.[12] Pennant closed on February 15, 2021 due to low ridership and deteriorating station conditions.[13]
