SEPTA Adding Extra Broad Street Line Trains For Eagles Playoff Game

PHILADELPHIA — SEPTA is supplementing its regular Broad Street Line service for Sunday's Wild Card Round Playoff game at Lincoln Financial Field when the Eagles take on the Green Bay Packers.

In addition to regularly scheduled trains that run every eight minutes or less, SEPTA will run multiple express trips before the game, which starts at 4:30 p.m. Sunday.

These extra trips will start at 11 a.m. from Fern Rock Station and will run every ten minutes until about 4 p.m.

"In addition to the ease and convenience of using SEPTA for travel to the Sports Complex we want our customers to know that their safety and security is our number one priority," Scott Sauer, SEPTA’s interim general manager, said. "SEPTA is now meeting and exceeding budgeted headcount of police officers resulting in a significant reduction in serious crime. We’re also addressing cleanliness with hundreds of cleaners, maintenance custodians, and supervisors deployed strategically across the system to address hot spots and customer concerns."

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 [L] and City Trolley [T] 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.

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.

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