Public Transportation

Philadelphia is a very walkable city, however, if you don’t want to walk, there’s always SEPTA (South-Eastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority), which makes it easy for locals and visitors to get around. The system features regional trains and buses that travel throughout the city and to several outlying suburbs as well as a subway system for easy navigation in the heart of the city.
