City transportation
SEPTA (tel 215/580-780 0) runs an extensive bus system
and a subway (both 6.30am-1am). The most useful subway lines
cross the city east-west (Market-Frankford line) and north-south
(Broad Street line); the handiest bus route is #76 , which
runs from Penn's Landing and the Independence Hall area out along
Market Street past City Hall to the museums and Fairmount Park. Bus
and subway services require exact fares of $2; day passes ,
which are also good for a ride to or from the airport, go for $6.
Bright purple PHLASH buses run a handy downtown loop (tel
215/580-7500; $2 one way, $4 day pass, exact change required).
