The SEPTA Rapid Transit system consists of rapid transit service on 3 lines (plus the Broad-Ridge Spur) to 75 stations in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and its suburbs and satellite cities. Service on most lines operates from 5:30 a.m. to midnight. It is the sixth-busiest rapid transit system in the United States.

Stations
There are 75 active stations in the Rapid Transit network (as of 2016), including 52 in the city of Philadelphia, 16 in Delaware County, and seven in Montgomery County.

Rolling stock
SEPTA uses a mixed fleet of General Electric and Hyundai Rotem "Silverliner" electric multiple unit (EMU) cars, used on all Regional Rail lines. SEPTA also uses push-pull equipment: coaches built by Bombardier and Pullman Standard, hauled by AEM-7 or ALP-44 (and soon to be ACS-64) electric locomotives similar to those used by Amtrak and New Jersey Transit (NJT) respectively. The push-pull equipment is used primarily for peak express service because it accelerates slower than EMU equipment, making it less suitable for local service with close station spacing and frequent stops and starts.

As of 2012, all cars have a blended red-and-blue SEPTA window logo and "ditch lights" that flash at grade crossings and when "deadheading" through stations, as required by Amtrak for operations on the Northeast and Keystone Corridors. SEPTA's railroad reporting mark SEPA is the official mark for their revenue equipment, though it is rarely seen on external markings. SPAX can be seen on non-revenue work equipment, including boxcars, diesel locomotives, and other rolling stock.
