Public Transportation
Philadelphia's mass transit system is SEPTA, the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transport Authority.

SEPTA operates a coordinated system of bus, subway, elevated train, and trolley lines that covers all of Philadelphia and parts of the surrounding counties. Penn is well-served by an extensive network of SEPTA public transit stops—never more than a five-minute walk from any part of the campus. To learn more about getting around, visit the SEPTA Travel Center in the Penn Bookstore. In addition to providing help navigating SEPTA, the center offers information on biking, walking, car, and ride-sharing, as well as parking services.
