PHLASH is Back!

PHLASH is Philadelphia's visitor friendly public transportation loop with 19 stops so you can see all that the city has to offer!

The Philly PHLASH is run by the Philadelphia Visitor Center Corporation. It’s a public transport system that allows visitors to travel along 19 stops in order to see attractions in Philadelphia. It’s super affordable, with tickets available per ride ($2), per day ($5), or a two day pass ($9, exclusively available online, and for 2 consecutive days), and children under 4 and seniors are FREE. SEPTA Key and Pass holders also ride PHLASH for free. PHLASH begins running on April 28 and runs daily through September 4, then Friday to Sunday from September 8 – December 24, and daily from December 26 – December 30 (No service on Thanksgiving or Christmas Day). PHLASH is wheelchair accessible and service dogs are welcome.
