They’re the underground walkways that connect the subway to the el and regional raiI at the city hall stop. If I recall correctly they go for a few blocks at least.

In combination with the underground portion of the Fashion District, you can go from 15th to 8th, including the other mall on 8th, without going outside.

Are the tunnels there? Yes they are. Are the tunnels safe? During rush hour or before a major sports event or concert, probably. On off hours? I prefer walking outside, even on freezing days.

Center city SEPTA concourse. It is a massive system of pedestrian passages that connects most BSL, El, and Patco stations in center city, as well as suburban station. Parts of it are closed off since the pandemic, but used to be you could walk from Burlington on market street to the Patco station near Rittenhouse square without going above ground.
