Race–Vine is arapid transit subway station on theSEPTA MetroB.[1] It is located at 300North Broad Street (PA 611) in theCenter City of Philadelphia. It serves both local and express trains.
The station is named after Vine Street, which today acts as frontage roads alongInterstate 676 and nearby Race Street, although the given address is closer to westbound Vine than Race. This stop is also used as the official stop for thePennsylvania Convention Center on the B; signs will direct passengers to the appropriate exits. However, riding the B one stop further south to 15th Street/City Hall and then connecting to theL east toward Frankford and then exiting at11th Street station will bring passengers right inside thePennsylvania Convention Center and theFashion District.
In addition to the Convention Center, the Race–Vine station serves several office buildings, includingThomas Jefferson University, the Parkway Museum District,Roman Catholic High School, andDrexel University's School of Nursing.
Passengers may connect toSEPTA City Bus Routes 4, 16, and 27 here, in addition to a number ofNJ Transit bus routes, which board on the northeast corner of Broad and Vine Streets. Until the mid-1990s, there was a concourse leading up Broad Street fromCity Hall to theRace Street side of the station.
