Cant even depend on a quick train ride anymore. 50% of the time I catch the sub or blue line it's delayed just like the buses if not worst. Before the pandemic septa was good but after Covid I guess management and drivers got lazy. i don't see septa lasting long if they don't better their service. most people skip payment for this exact reason, they don't take their jobs seriously anymore.

The bus a third party bus while boarding the driver is talking about breaking down multiple times recently. My seat is so close to the seat in front of me and the one in front is not reclined. The seats are all differently spaced. I would have more leg room in a Volkswagen. Driver was friendly, drove a bit fast, hard stops from not having adequate following distance. Allentown also has no sign saying greyhound however every other bus line has a sign. The bus departed before its scheduled departure and the app said it would be departing later than the scheduled departure. This company is obviously poorly managed!

The departure location is now at 199 Spring Garden Street under the underpass as of February 2025…read more This is not a pleasant location for many reasons. As others mentioned, you are waiting outside in the elements with your luggage. There are benches in a small garden and a low wall to sit on or lean against or rest your bag as you wait but all of it is dirty. And the whole situation feels unsafe. It's dark under there even in the daylight and far from any businesses. I was traveling from Philly to Richmond with a 45 minute transfer in DC. Missed my connection bus at Union Station because I got a text saying my bus was delayed from 1:50 to 2:18. Checked the schedule at 2:00 and it showed the bus departed at 1:55. Greyhound customer service put me on the 4:00 to Richmond but when I went to the office to retrieve my phone they let me charge, I was told the 4:00 pm was delayed to 6:00 pm. I had to purchase another ticket to get a 4:00 bus back to where I came from. I spent an entire day going nowhere. Took Greyhound two weeks to respond to my claim only to issue a voucher for a future trip but I'm not done with them yet.

While staying in South Philadelphia West, SEPTA NRG Station not only was within an accessible…read moredistance from my hotel (Radisson Hotel Philadelphia), but the commute connected me to SEPTA Olney Station which is near the starting line for Independence Blue Cross Broad Street 10 Mile Run. If you are looking for an easy way to get downtown, yet with time to spare it is an accessible transit with several stops in between that will connect you to sights known to the city of Philadelphia. SEPTA NRG Station is a very well-maintained station that also serves as an exit stop to sporting venues, like Xfinity Live! (NBC Sports Arena), Citizens Bank Park, Lincoln Financial Field, and Wells Fargo Center which are all located in the heart of South Philadelphia. While in the area after completing Independence Blue Cross Broad Street 10 Mile Run, I could not help but sense that Philadelphia is a city that loves its sporting teams, as like Chicago, the city where I am from. Being that I have had nothing but pleasant commutes, I would gladly commute from SEPTA NRG Station again, as well as recommend it to anyone visiting the city of Philadelphia for anything aforementioned. ~ Be Kind.

Olney serves its role as a transportation hub for North Philly. The buses and the Broad Street Line…read moreare convenient and will generally get you where you need to go, until they are late without notice or completely filled. Beyond the transit, going here is generally not by choice. The terminal is frequently littered with empty airplane shooters, vape packages, and Dunkin bags. SEPTA personnel generally don't do much for you if there isn't an opportunity for them to make money, and they're few and far between at this station. Not only is the terminal located in a bad area, Broad & Olney has become notorious as a hotbed for crime independent of the transportation center. Crime is taking the place of business, as the intersection used to be lined with shops and restaurants that have since closed and run for the hills. All in all, if you need to take a bus, try to catch it at another stop before the transportation center. You'll be more likely to get a seat and you'll save yourself the aggravation of being here. If you're taking the BSL, though not much of an upgrade, you may be better off just going up to Fern Rock.

You can also link to the Broad Street Spur or the El here. If you're out late at night on a weekend, you can expect massive crowds. I can't begin to tell you how many times drunken people heading back across the bridge have casually walked into me without apology while I waited for the train. For this reason, I prefer the other stations -- in particular 15/16 and Locust -- much more. Otherwise, this spot is decent. I'm glad it exists, but I wish it could undergo a remodel. It needs one desperately.

History is everywhere in Philadelphia and it's a beautiful place and beautiful people who truly welcome EVERYONE! And AMTRAK is just about the best way to get to Philadelphia! A piece of trivia, I used to work with the namesake of this station, and he probably used this station more than just about any other Philadelphian, to get back and forth to Washington, DC. It couldn't be easier to get from Philadelphia to Dc or New York or Boston than to hop on a train and let someone else do the driving!

There is no sales office at this station, i.e. you cannot buy tokens from either a person or a token machine. 2). There are no bike racks at this station. 3).

You cannot enter the subway station from Race St. -- only by Vine St. Why can't SEPTA at least put in a token machine? Why must I walk all the way to City Hall Station if I'm out of tokens?

I mean he knows all the freaking trains and stops in Boston. When he knew we were traveling to a new city he had an agenda : ride the subway trains and buy the subway trains. AT THIS PLACE YOU CAN DO BOTH. There is even a trolley on the bottom floor that you can climb in and pretend to drive. At Christmas it was nicely decorated too. I don't think he will ever forget. We bought a bus , a girard green trolley and a subway (which happens to be the market line) We are enablers. If you are a train enthusiast , they sell $$$ model trains. And mugs that say I love trains ! And lots of other things. Oh and they have Thomas trains and a train table. I can't believe this place exists. MBTA get with the program.
