SEPTA Travel Center @Penn

The SEPTA Travel Center @Penn is temporarily closed until further notice.

Nope. Penn's compact urban campus is well served by an extensive network of Subway, Bus, Regional Rail, and Trolley lines that are located around the campus where public transit stops are never more than a five-minute walk from any part of campus. And while SEPTA can get you to pretty much anywhere you need to go - we do have our limits. And that's where partners like Penn Transit, Ride Indego, Amtrak, NJ Transit, DART, PATCO, Mega Bus, Bolt Bus and Philadelphia International Airport come in. And let's not forget Uber and Lyft. Rideshare options are a great way to travel to or from a Regional Rail Station when you're out in the 'burbs.

But some of the SEPTA info you should know right now is:

SEPTA Key is your way to pay on buses, subways, and trolleys. It's contactless, reloadable, if lost - replaceable, and reusable. You can purchase one from the Fare Kiosk at the Travel Center!

If you have a SEPTA Key or SEPTA Pass - including a University Pass - you are eligible to receive a slew of Perks!

Need to catch a flight? SEPTA's Airport Line service runs every 30 minutes, Monday through Sunday from 5a to 12m.

Up all night? So are the Broad Street and Market-Frankford Lines on weekends.

Got tickets to the game? Forget about traffic and parking, SEPTA's Broad Street Line is the way to go.

The Travel Center @Penn is designed to better understand and utilize the array of transit resources available to members of the Penn Community as well as residents and visitors to University City.

For now - yes. The SEPTA Travel Center @Penn is designed to meet the needs of our partners at the University of Pennsylvania and it's affiliated institutions. It's available, though, to everyone! If other schools wish to explore establishing a Travel Center on their campus, we are always willing to discuss the possibilities. Email us here.

Throughout the year, we host special events at the Travel Center as well as offer special incentives to drop by the Travel Center.
