Free Rides on Broad Street & Market-Frankford Lines Thanks to Sponsorships from  Kevin Hart’s Gran Coramino Tequila, Nike & Duracell 

PHILADELPHIA (February 12, 2025) – SEPTA will limit stops and run express-type rail service on Friday to  serve hundreds of thousands of riders who are expected to use the system to travel to-and-from the  Eagles Championship Parade. High-frequency service will operate on the Broad Street Line [B] and  Market-Frankford Line [L], and trips on both of these lines will be free thanks to sponsorships from Nike,  Duracell and Gran Coramino, a line of premium tequilas founded by Philadelphia native Kevin Hart and  the official luxury tequila partner of the Philadelphia Eagles. 

The parade is scheduled to begin at approximately 11 a.m. on South Broad Street, continue north to City  Hall and then onto the Benjamin Franklin Parkway toward the Philadelphia Museum of Art. To better  manage crowds with available personnel, and to allow for more efficient service, SEPTA will consolidate  stops on all rail lines. 

Regional Rail will operate inbound-only in the morning and outbound-only after the parade. Fares are  required for Regional Rail, and customers must have either a valid Key Card or pre-purchase a special  One Day Pass that is on sale today and tomorrow. No Regional Rail passes or tickets can be purchased  in-person on Friday. 

Regular fares also apply for travel on buses and trolleys – free rides only apply to the Market-Frankford  and Broad Street Lines. 

Below are highlights of the major service adjustments for parade day. Riders are urged to check the Eagles Parade section of SEPTA’s website for more details at: septa.org/news/super-bowl-parade. 

Market-Frankford & Broad Street Lines [B & L] 

The Market-Frankford [L] and Broad Street [B] Lines are the best options for travel to-and-from the  parade. Thanks to support from Gran Coramino, rides on both lines are free on Friday. 

The Market-Frankford Line provides access to Center City from many suburban communities via 69th  Street Transportation Center, with connections to the Norristown High Speed Line, the Routes 101 and  102 Trolley Lines, and multiple bus routes. The Market-Frankford Line also connects to outlying points  with bus and trackless trolley service at Frankford Transportation Center. To get to the Broad Street  Line, customers can connect from multiple bus routes at Fern Rock Transportation Center, Olney  Transportation Center, and other stations.  

Trains on the Market-Frankford and Broad Street Lines will run approximately every six to eight minutes  starting just before 5 a.m. on Friday. The entire 15th Street complex will be closed including City Hall,  MFL 13th Street, Metro Trolley 13th & 15th Street, and Suburban Station on Regional Rail.  

SEPTA will utilize as many rail cars as possible to provide added capacity for riders. The following  stations will be open, although additional closures are possible depending on crowds:

SEPTA is urging customers who are planning to use rail services to arrange to be dropped off at or near  their station. Parking will be limited at SEPTA stations and surrounding locations, and available spots are  expected to fill up quickly. 

Pre-parade, Regional Rail service will operate only inbound to Center City. This will then be reversed for  outbound-only service after the event. Below are the outlying stations that will be open on each line:  

• Airport Line: Eastwick, Terminals A, B, C/D and E/F. 30-minute service throughout the day.  • Chestnut Hill East Line: Chestnut Hill East and Wyndmoor.

The Routes 101 and 102 Trolleys and the Norristown High Speed Line will stop at all stations, with  service every 15 minutes.
