Starting on September 30, 1968, Route 6 streetcar service was transferred the new transit authority, SEPTA, and buses replaced Route 6 service on January 12, 1986. Route 6 was cut back to a loop and terminus at Ogontz & Cheltenham Avenues at the City Line. PCC streetcars were assigned to Route 6 beginning June 20, 1948. Streetcar service to Willow Grove Park ended on Jwhen the Pennsylvania Highway Department (predecessor to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation) acquired portions of the private right-of-way on Limekiln Pike for construction of the soon to be built Pennsylvania Route 309 Expressway. Route 6 begins at the Olney Transportation Center, a core station of the Broad Street Line, principally traversing Ogontz Avenue in Philadelphia, crossing the City Line at Cheltenham Avenue, and then proceeding on private right-of-way down the middle of Limekiln Pike before running as a streetcar line on Keswick Avenue in Glenside, and then mostly side-of-the-road private right-of-way until reaching Willow Grove Park. SEPTA's Trolley Route 6, also known as the Ogontz Avenue Line is a former streetcar line and current bus route, operated by SEPTA in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
