SEPTA
SEPTA bus, trolley and rail services are a convenient way to reach many of the events taking place throughout the city.
On July 4, all SEPTA services will operate on Sunday schedules. However, for passengers traveling to the concert and fireworks at The Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Broad Street Line and Market-Frankford Line trains will offer a special late-night schedule. Regional rail trains will operate from Center City after 11:30 P.M. on all lines, with the exception of the R6 line.
Use SEPTA's Trip Planner to assist in planning your route.

The purple Phlash trolleys connect 21 key locations throughout Center City, including Penn's Landing and the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the locations for the weekend's concerts and fireworks. Trolleys arrive every 12 minutes and cost only $2 a ride, $5 for an all-day pass and $10 for a family pass.
