One aspect of the Regional Rail system which may cause some confusion to visitors and tourists is that all of the lines start outside the city at one terminus, run through 3 stations in Center City (specifically 30th Street Station, Suburban Station, and Market East Station), and continue through to the other terminus. So, for example, if you were in Center City and wanted to travel to Lansdale, travellers would have to make sure that they did not get on the R5 headed for Paoli.
