SEPTA Giving Free Subway Rides Home After Eagles Game Sunday

PHILADELPHIA – If you're heading down to South Philly for the Eagles-Colts game on Sunday, we have your ticket to get home: SEPTA is giving fans free rides home from NRG Station on the Broad Street Line after Sunday's gridiron matchup.

Thanks to a partnership with NJM Insurance Group, SEPTA is teaming up with the NJM Insurance Group to give Birds fans free subway rides home.

The free rides from NRG Station will begin at 3 p.m. and end at 7 p.m. The game kicks off at 1 p.m. at Lincoln Financial Field.

Regular fares will apply for all Broad Street Line travel to the game.

SEPTA will also provide extra game-day service, with a total of 10 Sports Express trains added to supplement regularly scheduled Local and Express trains on the Broad Street Line. Sports Express service will run every 10 minutes from Fern Rock Station from 10:10 a.m. until 12:20 p.m.

"For more than 100 years, NJM has encouraged and promoted safety in the workplaces where our customers make a living, and on the roadways that lead them back home," said Tracy McManimon, NJM Senior Vice President. "We know how passionate Philadelphians are about their World Champion Eagles, and we’re thrilled to partner with SEPTA on this public service to help keep fans safe. As we become a bigger part of the communities we serve throughout Pennsylvania, we look forward to more opportunities to bring our century-long commitment to safety to the hard-working people of this great city."
