SEPTA Increasing Train Service for Taylor Swift Concerts


Pop diva Taylor Swift yields a strange amount of powers (just ask Diplo, he’s terrified of her), one of which is her ability to make people gravitate toward her, completely wrecking traffic and public transportation along the way. She can also move SEPTA.

To prepare for the onslaught of folks heading to Lincoln Financial Field this weekend to catch the Wyomissing native’s two sold-out shows, SEPTA is adding nearly two-dozen extra trips on the Broad Street and Market Frankford lines on Friday and Saturday. Fox Philly has the deets for those of you planning a trip:

On Friday (06/12), 10 extra trips will be added to the Broad Street Line. Starting at 6:08pm and departing every 10 minutes thereafter, these trains will make express stops at Olney, Erie, Girard, Spring Garden, Race-Vine, City Hall, and Walnut-Locust before reaching AT&T Station. On the Market-Frankford Line, additional trips will be added at 6:05pm, with a free transfer to the Broad Street Line available at the 15th Street Station.

On Saturday (06/13), 11 additional express trips will operate on the Broad Street Line starting at 4:28pm and departing every 10 minutes thereafter. Additional service will also operate on the Market Frankford Line starting at 4:30pm.
