This is the last station where southbound riders can transfer freely between the Ridge Spur line and the Main Line, and the two trains commonly meet here and wait for one another.

Girard station is located in a very busy commercial strip along Girard Avenue, and also serves the southernmost sections of Temple University.

A transfer is available to the Route 15 trolley, which provides local service along Girard Avenue.

[3] The station was featured prominently in the 2019 sci-fi movie In the Shadow of the Moon.
