I've noticed that there are some buses that don't run all night that should run all night. Here are some ideas.

Route 3, Route 16, Route 25, Route 26, At least one of the Roxbourough routes, Route 48 and 54.

Did anyone notice that Roxbourough is the ONLY section of the city where NO bus has late night service?

Yes, I've noticed many times. It's particularly bothersome since a SEPTA staffer once told me that Roxb 'practically' has all-night service (indeed, the last 9 comes out of Center City at 1:30 or so if I recall correctly, and service re-starts before 5 AM, but the 27 goes to sleep just after 11 outbound and not too much after inbound). Interestingly, with the popularity of Main St/Manayunk, 61 doesn't run all that late and connects to nothing back to Center City for its last runs and the weekday Norristown trains close up inbound service just before midnight as well.

All-night service on 9 would make sense for many reasons but I doubt that it will ever happen.

Really they should undo what they done an year ago by making the route 65 an night owl route again. Even though the passenger count numbers are not perfect, at least there would be an crosstown which operates over night.

The 9 should be a Nite Owl.

Hop off that 25 NE Phila doesn't need any more Nite Owl.

I think the 18 needs BETTER night owl service since it only runs every 1hr nd 30min after 1:30. Also I think either the 9 or 61 should have owl service.

A combined 9-61 Night OWL (essentially a bus that travels up Ridge Ave from CC to Ridge-Summit) would be pretty interesting.
