Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Philadelphia’s public transportation system is extensive. The subway is not as big as New York’s or Boston’s, but it’ll get you where you want to go, and can be just as effective when coupled with the SEPTA regional rail lines or buses. Drexel is in an ideal location to take advantage of Philly’s public transportation system. Its transportation system makes traveling around the city a whole lot easier as it is how people get downtown or out of the city. SEPTA is convenient, but it has been cutting back its service.

We are within one to two blocks of a subway entrance both east and west of campus. 30th Street Station, which has Amtrak and SEPTA regional rail trains, is only two blocks away. Greyhound is also extremely close to campus as it is two miles away. There is a trolley stop on campus, and a taxi stand three blocks away. Bus stops are all over campus. You’ll be able to get anywhere you want, and you’ll learn all the routes in a snap. Prices for student transpasses are not that bad compared to what non-students pay. It really beats driving, and wasting time and energy trying to park.

Very Good Transportation

Drexel Buses run every 15-30 mins, but it's not a wise choice in the weekends. The Subway and Trolley stations are right in the campus, within walking distance.

Easy to Go Anywhere

You can take public transportation anywhere. We do have a free shuttle on campus that makes a loop through university city and another through center city. However, SEPTA is literally on campus. You can ride the subway or catch a bus just about anywhere. Amtrak is at 30th street, so it's practically on our doorstep. The airport is about a half hr hike either by train or cab during traffic. But everything else is convenient and close by.

Dragon Shuttle

Drexel offer its students with a shuttle bus that transport then directly to center city for free if you are a Drexel student. In addition, Drexel is conveniently located near the subway and offer many bus routes that SEPTA provides. The fare is cheap and can come very frequently.
