How to get to Susquehanna on SEPTA

- - -

General SEPTA tips (please read!)

-
    - -
  • - Trains/subways are almost always more reliable than busses. - Operator avaliability and traffic cause the bus system to - have large unpredictable delays. -
    • -
  • - Get information about what time your bus/train will arrive from - the SEPTA app. Google Maps is very bad with showing delays/cancellations. -
    • -
  • - The Transit App is another good and reliable app for transit - directions, and also the easiest to use. -
    • -
  • - Whenever riding non regional rail SEPTA services, you receive - 2 free transfers to other non regional rail SEPTA services. This - means that if you take the bus/trolley/subway, you can take 2 more - bus/trolley/subway rides for free within the next 2 hours. - You do not need to transfer to the same mode of transit. For example: - you can transfer from bus to subway or bus to bus or anything else you'd - like. You must pay with a SEPTA Key or a contactless credit/debit card - to receive this benefit, and you must use the same payment method - for all transfers -
    • -
  • - The niceness/cleanliness of SEPTA's transit modes usually ranks: -
      -
    1. Regional Rail
      2. -
    2. Bus/Trolley
      3. -
    3. Subway
      4. -
