The station is also served by the Route 15, the historic Girard Avenue trolley line, which runs on tracks in the median of Girard Avenue.

The trolley station is known as Front & Girard. SEPTA bus routes 5 and 25 also serve the station, as well as the Route 15 bus which temporarily replaced trolleys on the Richmond Street section of that line during I-95 construction.
