Clean, reliable station. Tons of parking (paid, via an app)…read more It's a short walk from tons of Ambler businesses, so if you get to the station early, enjoy a beer or coffee before your train arrives! This station would get five stars if the actual ticket office was open longer hours.

Parking is $1 but this parking lot is so big that you can always find a parking spot. When you park…read moreyour car, make sure to remember the parking spot number for when you go pay for parking! There's a ticket office at this location, and since it is a major stop all the Rush Hour express trains stop here. I also like the fact that this station is within walking distance to a cute little downtown area which is convenient for food.

Wish there was more parking though. Get here before 7am if you don't want to park at the very far end of the lot! The ticket booth is only open until 1pm which is silly. But there is plenty of seating outside and inside and a bathroom as well. If you need a ride there not enough ubers or taxis close by, so call 15 minutes ahead. Three train lines run through here so it is convenient!

There aren't any vagabonds around here and it's usually pretty clean. If you pay for parking I HIGHLY advise you to get here before 645am. Otherwise you might miss your train.

I'm just happy this place is here. It'd be great if it were cleaner, safer (it can get sheisty at…read morenight), and any number of things, but let's focus on the positives: - both SEPTA Regional Rail and buses stop here - a regional bus line is available here (if you want to go to Harrisburg or NYC) - local taxis can shuttle you to where you need to go For the latest transit schedules, see SEPTA's website, or Bieber Tourways (if you're looking to travel further than the average bear).

Small parking lot that fills up early, usually before 7 am. The parking lot is so small, I'm not…read moresure how cars can pass each other, it feels like it's a one way road. The station itself is non-existent except for something akin to a bug shelter. There is no ticket office and there is only a money box for you to insert quarters (or an envelope for money). Following the directions on the SEPTA website, I did park my car for several nights at this station as I took the train to the airport - you basically need to insert an envelope and check into the parking payment thing that clearly states your car and how many nights you will be parked. Seems a bit primitive given our technology these days, but hey it worked! This is also the last stop in Zone 3, so anything beyond this is Zone 4 pricing which is a few bucks higher.

This is just a train stop. Quite literally. There's no ticket booth, no customer service, nothing…read more Just a tiny open sitting area so don't expect to be sheltered from the elements (cold or hot) once you get here. There is parking but it's normally filled up with people commuting towards Philly. If you do want to park there, make sure to take quarters with you (4 to be exact) and find the big, thin, inconspicuous box with coin slots to drop in your quarters into the appropriate number to pay for parking. It's $1/day so that's nice. Also, make sure to take with you cash to pay for your fare because the train conductors don't take credit cards. Trains are normally not on time (aka late anywhere from 2-3 mins to 15-20 mins). This is what passes as public transportation here.

Uber will always get 5 stars from me…read more Living in one of the 5th largest cities in the U.S., it is often hard, no, impossible to be anything other than a nameless face in a crowd, an otherwise anonymous customer number or just a delivery address. As many issues that Philly might have, there is an unfettered joy and sense of adventure for me with the random, chance encounters the city offers. As I am conveyed back and forth to the South Street vet with my sick little white cat, once again I get to have some funny, interesting, happy, poignant and occasionally simply dull, yawning interactions with Uber's legions of drivers. I love getting a minute peek into the thoughts and lives of these drivers who are so often taken for granted and treated like robots. Sure, some of these folx have complicated lives, second and third jobs and want nothing more to get through their shift in peace and quiet. As an introvert, I always test the conversational waters when I step into an Uber vehicle. If the driver answers me in monosyllables, I take it he or she simply wants to drive, thus I keep to myself. Some drivers are possibly bored yet enthused about chatting so as a result I have been privileged to learn about their families, their country of origin, their snack preferences, some of the odd/interesting/pesky passengers they've conveyed, music tastes and most of all-how connected everyone of us really are. Almost as good, since I don't drive, is having the little kid in me awakened and absolutely thrilled at going out for a car ride. (Sure, it isn't free but the little boy in me never even considers that. He simply has a blast seeing the city from a vehicle...) While Uber is a business, it would be nothing without its drivers. Sure, sometimes they are slow to arrive or they flip your trip to another driver. From time to time, a driver is having a rotten day and acts out a bit. Examine your conscience. Haven't you had similar days or nights, no matter what you do for a living? Rather than bitching and moaning, treat your Uber ride as a way to connect with someone you'd probably never meet in your regular social circle. See your driver like the unique, silly, grouchy, aspiring, single parenting, hard working, dream filled human being they are; under the t-shirt, under the jacket, under the trucker's cap, behind the knock off shades-they are someone just like you.

I took a ride across me $7 I dropped my item that's only like $7 and they charge me $20 to retrieve it it's like holding your item for ransom. So I look at it like if it's an item that's not worth retriever leave it be and if it is worth retrieving more likely you won't be able to get it and they won't reimburse you but yet they will charge you $20 to retrieve your own items. I use Uber a lot and they're about to lose a very good customer because they care about the money more than they care about their customers

He texted to confirm and keep me updated on his progress the morning of the pickup. I had confidence that I was going to get to the airport on time. I've saved this companies number so next time I'm in the Philly area for work I can just call them. I'm thrilled these guys picked up the phone when others didn't. Go ahead and call them, you won't be disappointed.

It has capacious parking (that's a word, right?) and is walking distance to the burgeoning Ambler nightlife scene. Can pop in here and grab a bite or a drank and hop right back on the choo choo and get where you're going. I take of because it's really difficult to figure out how to pay for a train pass and parking and pickup is only available on one side of the station. But overall the station is great.
