Many SEPTA Regional Rail lines serve stations within the city and connect with Suburban Transit bus and trolley routes, making it the best travel option during a service interruption.

Schedules

All Regional Rail service will operate according to the published schedule times. Express trains may make additional stops to accommodate the anticipated increase in riders. Station announcements will be made for any service changes. Schedules are available at stations and online at www.septa.org.

Fares

All regular fares will apply if there's a strike. Passes offer the best value for your money and will make traveling easier. In the event of a service interruption, weekly and monthly TransPasses will be valid for travel, at all times, to all regional rail stations within the city, except Forest Hills and Somerton. These stations will require a Zone 3 fare ticket or pass.

Purchase fares ahead of time to speed your trip. Ticket and pass sales will be available at 30th Street, Suburban and Market East stations, as well as at outlying stations with ticket offices.

SEPTA sales offices will be open at 15th Street and 69th Street. All other locations, including 1234 Market St., will be closed.

Transit-Pass Redemption

Unused passes bought before a service interruption may be fully or partially redeemed. Customers should retain any unused passes until return instructions are published.

Ticket Collection & Train Boarding

Unless otherwise directed by authorized SEPTA personnel, fares will be collected for each trip. Customers riding during a.m./p.m. peak hours (indicated by the shaded area of the timetable) must buy tickets before traveling - there will be NO cash sales on board trains.

During the p.m. peak, customers will be asked to wait in line at the concourse level at University City, 30th Street, Suburban, Market East, and Temple University stations, and fares will be collected prior to boarding the train. All passes will be subject to inspection and will be validated by SEPTA fare-collection personnel. To ensure safe boarding and to avoid confusion, SEPTA staff will direct customers when to proceed to the platform. During peak-hour travel, expect crowding and delays.

In the event of a service interruption, the SEPTA service-guarantee program will be temporarily suspended.

Parking

Parking is available at most SEPTA rail stations, although the number of spaces may be limited, and lots generally fill up early on weekdays. Daily parking fees will apply at all SEPTA lots. Please check the Web site for further information on parking availability.
