SEPTA Special Service Plans:

  • Extra service will be available on subways, trolleys and Norristown High-Speed Line.
  • For those who want to drive into the city, remote parking is available at the Mann Music Center with shuttle bus service to the concert.
  • SEPTA urges Regional Rail riders to take advantage of these extra transit services.
     

 "A subway train will be available every 5 minutes versus a Regional Rail train every hour. Best bet, travel to any one of our transportation centers and ride the Market-Frankford or Broad Street Line into Center City," a SEPTA spokesperson told NBC10.
