SEPTA Adding Broad Street Line Trains For Eagles Game Thursday Night

PHILADELPHIA — With the Eagles set for an intense matchup against the Washington Commanders Thursday at Lincoln Financial Field, SEPTA is bolstering its service to the stadium area ahead of the game.

SEPTA said In addition to regularly scheduled trains that run every eight minutes or less, it will run 10 express trips before the game, which starts at 8:15 p.m. Thursday.

These extra trips will start at 6:08 p.m. from Fern Rock Station and will run every ten minutes until about 7:48 p.m.

Regular fares apply for all travel to and from the game.

Eagles fans can connect with the Broad Street Line from dozens of bus routes, and there is a free transfer from the Market-Frankford Line and City Trolley routes at 15th Street/City Hall.

The Broad Street Line is also just a short walk from Regional Rail Stations in Center City and is also easily accessible from the PATCO High Speed Line for fans from South Jersey.

SEPTA encouraged riders to go directly to NRG Station after the game ends so that they can catch both the Broad Street Line and connecting services.

Fans are encouraged to load funds onto a SEPTA Key Card for ease of travel.

For buses, subways, and trolleys, customers can use contactless payment options like credit/debit cards and Apple, Google, and Samsung Pay.

On Regional Rail, riders can purchase fares on the train when traveling towards the city using cash or a credit/debit card. However, for trips leaving the city, customers must purchase fares in advance to be able to access the waiting and boarding areas.
