Transportation

Lyft, Uber, trains, trolleys and subways are available in Philadelphia. The city is very walkable. Downtown Philadelphia is about $30 for a 20 minute Lyft ride from the Philadelphia International Airport (PHL).

You can take 30th St Station to NY or DC for a day trip. Tickets are less expensive in advance and can range from $18 to $250 depending on how early they are purchased.
