Girard is the home of the #15 trolley, the most important crosstown transit route in the city. People who go to the zoo get off the Broad Street Subway at Girard and take the #15 to the zoo.
North of Girard, by the time you hit the Cecil Moore and Dauphin/Susquehanna stops near Temple University, you are in dangerous territory.
