Railfanning Philadelphia’s transit system (SEPTA) got a lot harder recently when the much loved “Day Pass” was replaced with the much hated “Inconvenience Pass”. In short, the Day Pass allowed unlimited trolley, subway, and bus rides, as well as one Regional Rail ride (except to Trenton), but the Inconvenience Pass costs more, and only allows eight (8) rides on buses, trolleys, and subways, and no rides on Regional Rail.
Well for a limited time only, you can railfan Philly all day long for only $9.00 with SEPTA’s 2009 Philadelphia Beer Week Pass!! Instead of only eight (8) rides with the Inconvenience Pass, this Beer Pass gets you unlimited rides on buses, trolleys, and subway, AND unlimited rides on Regional Rail after 9:30 AM. It’s an awesome deal! It’s valid between March 6 and March 15.
Sip Safely with SEPTA using an unlimited, all-day, bus-trolley-rail pass for just $9.00. Valid any one day between March 6 and March 15. Passes are not valid on Regional Rail Trains arriving in Center City before 9:30 AM and are not valid for travel to or from Stations in the State of New Jersey. This pass is valid on SEPTA services, to encourage PBW participants to travel safely, rather than driving from event to event.
