Starting May 1, See Philly in a PHLASH
(April 10, 2008) -- PHLASH, Center City’s popular purple trolley loop, will be back May 1, connecting 21 major tourist stops and providing an inexpensive transit option for visitors and locals. PHLASH service runs daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. through October 31. Fares are $2 for a single ride; all-day passes are $5 and family passes are $10.
Want to go beyond the PHLASH route? PHLASH passengers can buy the SEPTA One-Day Convenience Pass onboard and take 8 trips on SEPTA buses, subway trains and trolleys in one calendar day.
New for 2008, each PHLASH car will show an on-board video describing the attractions served by the trolley route.
PHLASH is managed by the Central Philadelphia Transportation Management Association (CPTMA), operated by Philadelphia Trolley Works and marketed in partnership with the Greater Philadelphia Tourism Marketing Corporation (GPTMC).
PHLASH’s fifth season was made possible by $500,000 grant from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and Governor Rendell. To learn more about the PHLASH route and its nearby attractions, fares, park-and-ride options and more, visit www.PhillyPhlash.com.
