Choosing Your Chariot: A SEPTA Spectacular or a Ride-Sharing Rodeo?
There are two main ways to get to the Linc: by SEPTA (Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority) – Philly's public transport system – or by ride-sharing (think Uber or Lyft).
Teaming Up with SEPTA: Fast, Affordable, and Full of Philly Characters (Maybe)
SEPTA is your ride to the game for a steal. The Broad Street Line whisks you straight to NRG Station, a stone's throw from the Linc. Plus, you get the added bonus of experiencing SEPTA's unique brand of entertainment – you might encounter anything from a guy playing the harmonica to a heated debate about the best cheesesteak spot.
Ride-Sharing: Comfort and Convenience (But Watch Out for Surge Pricing)
Ride-sharing offers a comfy, door-to-door experience, perfect if you're rolling with a crew or have mobility limitations. Just be warned – surge pricing can be a real buzzkill during peak times. So, if you go this route, download the app beforehand and be prepared to pay a premium for the convenience.
QuickTip: Pay attention to first and last sentences.
Bonus Round: Taxi!
Taxis are also an option, though generally more expensive than ride-sharing. Hey, if you're feeling fancy, hail a cab and pretend you're a high roller (just don't forget to tip your driver!).
SEPTA Strategies: Conquering the Broad Street Line
Step 1: Find Your Station
