Septa is extremely reliable from Center City to Conshie. One way peak
(i.e., rush hr) fare = $3.75. Off-peak = $3.25 (I think - I use a
TransPass, so I get a discount). Travel time = 30 min or so. The 5:14
express train from CC to Conshie makes it there around 5:40. The 5:35 local
(i.e., non-express) arrives at Conshie 6:10 or 6:15 (i.e., 35-40 min).
Driving time at rush hr from CC to Conshie is 25 - 30 min, depending on how
backed up it is.

I take that 5:14 train a couple times a week. Runs every 30 minutes or so
during rush hr; once an hr after. 5:14, 5:35, 6:02, 6:40 (that last one
gets to Conshie about 7:15).

Return from Conshie is 8, 9, 10, 11PM. On the hour. 30 min travel time, as
there are usually a whole let less folks.

BTW - I vote for Center City, for what it's worth.
