This greyhound is trouble. I've met one manager who was intelligent enough for their job, but everyone else here is probably just gathered up from the streets. First of all, plan to arrive at your destination one hour later than what was advertised... In the last month I've had two occasions where the drivers did not know where in the destination city the greyhound bus station was!
I have no other means of semi-affordable travel therefore I have to use their service frequently. In my travels, I've been directed to wrong buses by the clerks and insulted by the ticket officers on different occasions.
Apart from waiting a whole minute between taking my information and not listening to what I'm saying, yesterday when I asked them about what times are available for travel, the clerk at the ticket office replied "I don't know".
Yeah, avoid greyhound if you can...

Make sure when you go to Philadelphia, you read the signs if you able to park at a certain location or not. Philadelphia Parking Authority (PPA) agents are very sneaky and are considered aliens to Philadelphians. Please do not park at a handicap sign, it might cost you around $300 for parking at a handicap spot. PPA agent sometimes wait next to your car until the meter expires and start writing ticket instantly. They are also known for writing tickets before they even get to your car while you are sitting in your car. One secret is that they are allowed to void a ticket if they are in a good mood. It takes them to use their walkie talkie to get approval. But knowing these people who look annoyed all the time you might want to give them a compliment before you ask them to void the ticket.
Many have told me that when they go down to 12 and Filbert Streets to pay for ticket, PPA agents are waiting to write you another ticket while you are paying your ticket.

Septa runs the trains and buses that provide public transportation around Philadelphia. In particular, the Septa R1 train goes to all the terminals in the airport twice an hour and returns to several sites in Center City including 30th Street Station which is the central hub connecting to other Septa trains and to all other trains in the city for only $5.50. The other rails are a boon to commuters providing rides to and from the Main-Line and surrounding suburbs conveniently for only a couple of dollars a ride or for an unlimited monthly pass.

This is a quaint little place right in the middle of one of the busiest and most active parts of Philadelphia. Great rates and fantastic service means you'll definately be going back, even if you live close enough to drive to the city (like I do). It's a great little getaway from the husle and bustle of life and you can take a mini vacation in the city - and still have tons of things to do when you check out.
