SEPTA and Other
The Septa includes the subway, regional rail, buses, and trolleys.
The subway is at each end of campus on broad street and is the fastest but not the safest at night, but its still not that bad. I love the subway because it connects to other subways for free so you dont have to pay for another ride. It takes you to major attractions on Broad street which is very convenient (stadiums, shopping, City Hall, etc)
The rail takes you directly to 30th street(Amtrak). its comfortable and very safe, and right on campus. most expensive, but its only up to $6 but its great if you live in the greater philly are
Buses are just like the subway, except theres more stops and they all go to different places. Good for leaving you closer to where you want to go. Same with trolleys which are good for going to attractions like the Philly Art Museum, Philly Zoo, etc
There is the Amtrak if you live farther away, and thats the train. This is more expensive but its a very comfortable ride and has wifi. Theres also cabs if you go out into the city late at night and want to be dropped off right at your dorm/house.
If you are not traveling outside campus (ex you are at the library late and live farther off campus) you can take the Owl Loop/TU R Door: a free bus that takes Temple students to any place on campus and off campus (as long as it is withing certain boundaries).
