Location

Broad–Girard station is a SEPTA Metro station served by B trains and G trolleys in the Francisville section of North Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The station receives express service, with B2 and B3 trains stopping at the station. It has four underground tracks and two underground central platforms. On the surface, G trolleys stop along Girard Avenue. The station is located in a very busy commercial strip along Girard Avenue, and also serves the southernmost sections of Temple University. This is the last station where southbound riders can transfer freely between B3 trains and B1 and B2 trains, and the three services commonly meet here and wait for one another. A transfer is available at the station between the B and G.

The station was featured prominently in the 2019 sci-fi movie In the Shadow of the Moon.
