Getting Around Public Transportation in Philadelphia
One can travel and tour the city of Philadelphia using a wide variety of transportation options. Among the most popular are the public transportation services provided by the Southeastern Pennslyvania Transportation Authority, or SEPTA. The system is comprised of buses, subways, trolleys, and regional rail lines; all readily accessible from the Messiah College-Philadelphia Campus.

Subway and Bus Routes
Main Subway Routes

• The Broad Street Subway (Orange Line) runs North and South.
• The Market-Frankford Line (Blue Line) runs East and West. This is also known as the "EL" in places where it "elevates" above ground.

• Susquehanna/Dauphin, located one block north of the campus at Broad and Susquehanna Sts.
• Cecil B. Moore, located four blocks south of the campus at Cecil B. Moore and Broad Sts.

Additional Subway Routes and Trolleys

• The Broad Street Line/Ridge Spur is an off-shoot of the main Broad Street Line running under Ridge Avenue. Diagonal to Broad Street, this line runs to Chinatown or 8th and Market Streets.

Cost for Tokens
Tokens may be purchased in packages of five ($6.50/pack) from the Philadelphia Campus receptionist during office hours (8:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.)

For infrequent use, single tokens (at $1.30/token) work well. Day Passes and Weekly Trans Passes are also avialable depending on travel needs.

Tokens may also be purchased on the bus or at the nearest subway stop (Cecil B. Moore/Temple University Station.)

Helpful Hints
Subway service stops at midnight each day. Taxis and buses run continuously.
Subways run underground in the same direction as traffic above ground.
