PHILADELPHIA – SEPTA is reminding Philadelphia Flower Show attendees that public  transportation offers convenient travel to the Pennsylvania Convention Center without the hassles of  traffic and parking. There will be extra service on Regional Rail, along with frequent transit options. 

Traveling to the Philadelphia Flower Show 

All Regional Rail trains stop at Jefferson Station, which is located on the lower level of the Pennsylvania  Convention Center. Starting Saturday, March 1, SEPTA will provide additional Regional Rail trips. 

On Saturdays and Sundays, from March 1 to March 2 and March 8 to March 9, extra trains will operate  on the Lansdale/Doylestown; Paoli/Thorndale; and Fox Chase Lines Regional Rail Lines. 

There are also convenient transit options. The [L] (Market-Frankford Line), [B] (Broad Street Line) and  the [T] (Trolley lines), offer frequent service, stopping at 13th Street, one block from the Pennsylvania  Convention Center.
