Frequently asked questions

What's the best way to get around Philadelphia?

It depends on where you're going — mix transit, walking and rideshare, and consider a car for out-of-town trips.

Do I need a car in Philadelphia?

Not always for the center, but a rental helps for day trips and areas that are harder to reach by transit.
