SEPTA news release:
SEPTA Transit Routes Ready for Made In America Concert
Extra Trips on Subways, Additional Service on Several Regional Rail Lines
August 29, 2016
SEPTA is reminding music fans attending this weekend's Made In America concert that public transit is the easiest way to get to and from the venue on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway.
The best resources for travel to-and-from the concert are SEPTA's subways - the Broad Street Line and the Market-Frankford Line. These lines are easily accessible for riders throughout the region, with stops located just a short walking distance from the concert site. Service on the Broad Street and Market-Frankford Lines will operate on regular Saturday/Sunday schedules, with extra trains added for the festival.
SEPTA's Center City trolley tunnel, which normally closes on Sunday evenings, will remain open to accommodate passengers on the Route 10, 11, 13, 34 and 36 trolleys.
Regional Rail:
Trains will run on regular weekend schedules, with most lines operating hourly. SEPTA will add or extend several trains on Saturday and Sunday. All Made in America Late Night Regional Rail service information is available here.
