SEPTA is working to unify a disparate collection of subway, elevated and trolley lines to make it easier to navigate, but the result has some riders confused. In the new wayfinding system, the Norristown High Speed Line will be known as the "M" — for Montgomery County. The system maps will use the color purple to mark the route of the Norristown High Speed Line. The Media-Sharon Hill trolley lines will also see a change to “D” for Delaware County with a bright pink color to mark the route. According to Lex Powers, director of service information design, “Our research showed that the Norristown High Speed Line and Media-Sharon Hill line have very low brand awareness, even by the people who use them on a day-to-day basis.” Get to know the SEPTA Metro here.
