Discussion: Ride from the Batona 500 to Philadelphia on Sunday

I'm interested in going to Penn next year, and I'm trying to arrange a meeting with the head of their Visual Studies department on Sunday after I race. Is anybody leaving the meet site for Philadelphia between 11:00 and 2:30? She'd like to meet in the late morning, so the earlier the better.

OR, does anybody have information about public transportation I could take to Philadelphia?

I'm heading to PHL from the meet site for an early afternoon flight, so probably as early as I can.

Hey anna we could give you a ride. sadly it won't be to early because my dad and i have to help out at the start and then we noramly stay for awards. So we would probably leave around to 2pm. So if you get stuck and still need a ride at 2 when we leave you can come with us. We live really close to penn so it would be very easy to get you there.

Thanks you guys! My start time's 9:37, so I'll try to finish in time to ride with Cristina.

Anna:
Just for your information, there is also a public transportation alternative: A PATCO speedline train runs every 20 minutes on Sunday into downtown Philly from Lindenwold (which is on U.S. Route 30, southeast of Cherry Hill) <http://www.ridepatco.org/map_nj.html>...perhaps Cristina could drop you off there, since if she's heading for the airport she'll probably want to use the Walt Whitman bridge, and won't come too close to Penn.

The train ride is under 30 minutes to Market Street in Center City. From there you transfer to the westbound SEPTA Market St subway <http://www.septa.com/maps/market_frankford.html> which will take you directly into the Penn campus and University City.
