SCHEDULES, PARKING & FARES | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| All Regional Rail service will operate according to the current 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. 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. As our daily Regional Rail riders know, SEPTA is already operating at full capacity. We are working on adding more cars to some of our regularly scheduled trains but this will likely be for the earlier AM trains. So we want to encourage individuals and businesses to think about adjusting their work/business hours, in the event of a service interruption. This will help to make your trip just a little bit more comfortable. Everyone will face inconveniences whether it’s adjusting to the alternate service options or finding trains even more crowded than usual. SEPTA Ambassadors, from all departments, will be out working with Operations personnel to provide assistance, answer questions, and help you get where you need to go. But please be prepared and be patient. All regular fares will apply during any work stoppage. Passes offer the best value for your money and will make traveling easier. Weekly and Monthly TransPasses will be valid for travel, at all times, to all Regional Rail stations within the City of Philadelphia except Forest Hills and Somerton. These stations will require a Zone 3 fare – ticket or TrailPass. During the service interruption, Independence Passes will be accepted on Regional Rail service going to/through Center City before 9:30 a.m. Student Weekday passes are not valid for Travel on Regional Rail Trains. Students wishing to use Regional Rail service must upgrade their Student Passes to the appropriate TrailPass needed for travel from the Station used. The Student will surrender their weekday pass and receive a credit of $3.13 for each valid day of the pass, towards the purchase of a weekly TrailPass. Purchase fares ahead of time to speed your trip.
