SEPTA Adding Extra Service For Eagles Home Opener Monday Night

PHILADELPHIA — With the Philadelphia Eagles home opener set for Monday at Lincoln Financial Field, SEPTA is offering extra Broad Street Line and Regional Rail service.

In addition to regularly scheduled trains that run every eight minutes or less, SEPTA will run 10 additional express trips before Monday's game, which starts at 8:15 p.m., to NRG Station.

These extra trips will start at 6:05 p.m. from Fern Rock Station and will run every ten minutes until 7:35 p.m.

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 easily accessible from the PATCO High Speed Line for fans from south Jersey.

Additional Regional Rail service from Center City will be offered on the Warminster and Paoli/Thorndale Lines.

SEPTA urges riders to go directly to NRG Station after the game so they can catch 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.

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