Anyone riding Septa Regional Rail up and back, can purchase an 
Independence Pass ($11 for one individual, $28 for a family consisting 
of no more than two adults but up to five people, meaning of course up 
to 3 children) which will allow the riders to take buses north on 7th ST 
and back South on 8th ST to relatively close to the event site.  A word 
of warning though, normally if you purchase an independence pass on the 
train, you get a ticket stub which is good on all regional rail lines 
except those to or from New Jersey after 9:30 AM weekdays, but to ride 
the bus or subway, you have to turn in your stub for a regular 
independence pass.  There is at least one ticket office open which will 
do the exchange at Market East during normal business hours.   Anyone 
with a trailpass or transpass on weekends can ride any Septa vehicle.
