Philadelphia is a city built for easy walking, but you can hail taxis on the street, at the ranks outside hotels or at the 30th St Station and the Greyhound/Trailways terminal on Filbert St. Yellow Cab (215- 829-4222) and Bell Taxi Service (215- 634-4444) both operate a 24-hr service.
SEPTA controls the local transport of over ground rail, bus and trolley cars. Suburban Station and Market East Station are the main terminals for the business district, with both connecting the entire system to the Airport Rail Line (R1). Trains service the suburbs while Center City is served by buses and streetcars.
Tickets for most routes on all transit systems cost around $2 in exact change. For multiple day-trips use a SEPTA Day Pass that allows unlimited daily travel on all city transport, plus a one-way trip on the Airport Line. For travel details and a map, call 215- 580-7800.
Also worth trying are the Line trolleys that loop along 11th St & 12th St between Noble and Fitzwater. A round trip costs around 50c and passes through some of the best shopping and sightseeing areas.
