The Broad Street Line connects with the Market-Frankford Line and City Trolley routes at 15th Street and City Hall stations, and is a short walk from Regional Rail stations in Center City. It also connects to bus routes that service the region. For Eagles fans traveling from South Jersey, it's easily accessible from the PATCO High Speed Line.

SEPTA is providing the free rides through a partnership with betPARX Casino & Sportsbook.
