"After a successful start to our partnership with SEPTA during the Eagles playoff run last year, Unibet is excited to extend our relationship into the upcoming football season," said Manuel Stan, SVP of North America, Kindred Group. "As a proud casino and sportsbook partner of the Philadelphia Eagles, Unibet strives to enhance the fan experience while also reminding our customers to play responsibly. Being able to provide Eagles fans with safe and free transportation home from the game is a fantastic opportunity for Unibet to demonstrate that commitment as well as our appreciation for Philadelphia residents and Eagles fans."

"SEPTA is thrilled to partner with Unibet again to provide free rides home from Eagles’ games," said SEPTA CEO and General Manager Leslie S. Richards. "Going to the Superbowl last year was so exciting, and we know Eagles fans are even more enthusiastic about this season. This is such an exciting time for our city and region, and SEPTA will be ready for each game with extra service for fans. We will also have additional personnel on the system to assist riders and to help ensure that their travel is safe, secure, and convenient."

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.
