September is a month of new beginnings. The start of the school year. The first day of fall. The first... SEPTA ride? For some youngins and Philadelphia transplants, they have their first ride on the rails (or the road) to look forward to! Do you remember yours? Your first SEPTA ride might have happened when you were a little kid, or when you started college in one of Philly's many great schools, or perhaps when you moved to the city as an adult and took that first ride on your own, no hand-holding. No matter the age and date of your first journey on SEPTA, we want to hear about it. Let us know about your first SEPTA ride: your age, what mode, where you went, and any other fun details that jazz up the story. The top 11 most thoughtful entries will be selected for prizes. The Grand Prize is an October Anywhere TrailPass. Ten runner-ups will receive a SEPTA t-shirt. Contest ends 9/23. Only one entry per email address please. 

Have you heard about #WindowWednesday? It's where folks post pictures on Instagram of their view through the window of a plane, train, or automobile, and we love the idea! We'll start posting our own pics from SEPTA windows beginning Wednesday, June 6 with the hashtags #WindowWednesday and #ISEPTAPHILLY. If you do the same, you'll be eligible to win a SEPTA tote bag. We'll pick one (1) winner every week now thru Wednesday, December 19! More than one entry is permitted.

As part of our ongoing efforts to improve bus service, SEPTA is seeking a better understanding of how employees and shoppers use SEPTA bus routes at major shopping destinations in the southeastern part of the city, near Columbus Boulevard and Snyder Avenue. These locations include Pier 70, Whitman Plaza, and Columbus Commons. If you are regular rider on any of the routes that go these destinations (Routes 7, 25, 29, 47, 57, 64, 79, and G), we are interested in hearing from you. Please fill out this short survey and help us make improvements to these routes.

You can enter to win a monthly TransPass in a drawing contest when you complete this survey. The grand prize is a monthly TransPass. 10 runners up will win a SEPTA t-shirt. You can only win if you complete the survey. Winners will be chosen at random once the survey period is completed.
