Get a Head Start on Spring When You Take SEPTA to the 2018 Philadelphia International Flower Show: ‘Wonders of Water’

Discount Flower Show Tickets Available at SEPTA Sales Offices

Greater Philadelphia residents tired of the gloomy grays of winter can fast forward to spring – using SEPTA – when they visit the 2018 Philadelphia International Flower Show, “Wonders of Water” at the Pennsylvania Convention Center March 3 through 11.

SEPTA makes it easy for riders to experience the beauty of the Flower Show: the One Day Independence Pass and Family Independence Pass offer customers convenient, economical and unlimited one-day travel on all SEPTA trains, trolleys and buses. The Flower Show is open Saturday, March 3 from 11 am-8 p.m.; Sunday, March 4 from 8 am- 9 p.m.; Monday-Friday, March 5-9 from 10 am-9 p.m.; Saturday, March 10 from 8 am-9 p.m.; and Sunday, March 11 from 8 am- 6 pm. During the Flower Show, Independence Passes will be valid on all SEPTA modes all day long.

The One Day Independence Pass costs $13 per person. The $30 Family Independence Pass provides unlimited travel for one family of up to five people, traveling together on any one day, on all regularly scheduled SEPTA service (at least one person, but no more than two, must be 18 years of age or older). While additional fees apply on Regional Rail travel to and from Trenton and West Trenton, NJ, customers still save when purchasing Independence Passes over individual rail tickets. SEPTA ticket offices will be opened for extended hours beginning the week of February 26.

Independence Passes can be purchased in advance – they are not activated until the date they are punched by a SEPTA operator, cashier or conductor. Independence Passes are sold at all SEPTA Regional Rail Ticket Offices, SEPTA Sales Offices, the Transit Gift Store at 1234 Market Street and online at www.Shop.SEPTA.org.

As an added bonus, SEPTA customers can purchase discounted Flower Show tickets -$33 for adults and $17 for children ages 2-16 -at all major SEPTA Transit Sales Offices and Regional Rail Ticket Offices.

Due to increased Regional Rail ridership during the Flower Show, SEPTA’s Quiet Ride Program will be temporarily suspended as crews will be focused on safety, fare collection and announcements. SEPTA will also add capacity to select trains to accommodate additional riders.
