[PRCo] Re: Philly- Off Topic? :-)

[John Swindler]

Media and 66

Check schedules first, but can make a round-trip using both 
Market-Frankford/Media in one direction, and Media Regional Rail for return. 
  Also, can make Norristown round-trip using route 100 and Regional Rail.

There use to be a weekend 'family fare' available.  Check SEPTA's website.  
Also, use tokens.  They provide a discount off of base fare.
For round-trip on Lindenwold Line, try local trip between two stations on 
Locust St. Subway.
