SEPTA’s regular and express train service is being restored in time for the Philadelphia Eagles‘ season opener, thanks to the contributions of sports betting company FanDuel.
A day after the Eagles released a travel advisory amidst ongoing uncertainty regarding the transport authority’s service, stemming from ongoing service cuts, SEPTA, along with FanDuel, announced that the company will provide the necessary resources to fully restore train service on the Broad Street Line for the season opener, set for Thursday, Sept. 4.
“SEPTA will run regularly scheduled subway trains, plus Sports Express trips, before and after the game,” a SEPTA spokesperson said in a statement.
According to a release, pre-game, sports express trips will run every 10 minutes, and following the game, there will be 10 express trains and six local trains available. Post-game trips will operate over a period of approximately 70 minutes, and SEPTA urges fans to go to NRG station immediately following the game to ensure they can catch a train home.
FanDuel will provide free rides home for fans from NRG Station beginning at halftime and continuing through the end of service.
