The old symbols repping each line are detailed drawings of the specific trains that run on them, images that are basically meaningless to regular people: “It requires a detailed knowledge of rolling stock to be able to navigate,” Powers said.
Now, the routes will be identified by just one letter and plain background color:
The Broad Street Line: B with an orange background
The Market-Frankford Line: L with a blue background (since people usually call it the El or the L)
The Center City trolleys: T with a green background
The Route 15 trolley: G with a yellow background (because the route runs along Girard Avenue)
The Norristown High Speed Line: M with a purple background (M for Montgomery lines)
The Media-Sharon Hill Line: D with a pink background (D for Delaware lines)
