SEPTA Closes Papal Pass Site Due To Technical Problems

SEPTA’s Papal E-Commerce site selling special passes for the Pope’s visit in September has closed just hours after it opened due to technical problems, SEPTA announced.

The e-commerce website, www.septa.org/papalvisitphilly, launched Monday morning to sell the Regional Rail passes for Sept. 26 and 27. The passes will be required for all Regional Rail travel during that time.

SEPTA did not say when the site would reopen or provide any more specifics about the issue.

In a Tweet Monday, the transportation agency said: “The Papal E-Commerce site is temporarily closed while resolve problems. We apologize/will update when more info. is available.”
