Further information: Philadelphia International Airport Terminals (SEPTA station)Taxis charge a flat rate, currently $28.50, for transportation from the airport to downtown Philadelphia.
SEPTA operates regional rail service between the airport and Center City Philadelphia via the Airport Line with convenient stops at University City, Amtrak’s 30th Street, Suburban, and Market East Stations. The fare is $7 if purchased on board, or $6 if purchased at a station in center city. An unlimited ride day pass may be purchased either at a station or on board for $11 for all SEPTA services except to stations in New Jersey. SEPTA also operates various bus routes to the Airport: Route 37 (South Philadelphia to Eastwick and Chester Transportation Ctr via Philadelphia International Airport), Route 108 (69th Street Terminal to Philadelphia International Airport or UPS), and Route 115 (Delaware County Community College/Darby Transportation Center to Philadelphia International Airport). These are $2 or 1 token ($1.55; available at major El and Subway stops), with a transfer for $1.00; exact change is required.
Rental cars are available through a number of companies; each operates a shuttle bus between its facility and the terminals.
As a benefit to students, local schools including The University of Pennsylvania, Villanova University, Swarthmore College, Haverford College and Saint Joseph's University traditionally operate transportation shuttles to the Airport during heavy travel periods such as Spring and Thanksgiving Breaks.

Famous quotes containing the word ground:
“A sign, or representamen, is something which stands to somebody for something in some respect or capacity. It addresses somebody, that is, creates in the mind of that person an equivalent sign, or perhaps a more developed sign. That sign which it creates I call the interpretant of the first sign. The sign stands for something, its object. It stands for that object, not in all respects, but in reference to a sort of idea, which I have sometimes called the ground of the representamen.”
—Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)
