I read that SEPTA had an $8 "Bouquet Pass" in conjunction with the Flower Show that is good for all subways, trolleys and buses (like the $5.50 Day Pass) but is also good for Regional Rail (except Trenton) after 9:30 AM. So on Wednesday a friend and I decided to railfan SEPTA for eight dollars.
The cashier at Market East informed me that the $8 Bouquet Pass was sold only along with a $21 Flower Show ticket (regular price = $22). Fortunately, my wife and I had planned to do the Flower Show on Thursday, so I bought the two Bouquet Passes with our flower show tickets.
We rode MFSE from 11th to 69th, P&W (Route 100) to Radnor, R5 to Thorndale, R5 to 30th Street, R3 to Media, Media trolley (Route 101) to 69th Street, P&W to Norristown, R6 to Temple U, R8 to Chestnut Hill West.
We had planned to walk to Chestnut Hill East, having a 12 minute window, but our R8 got stabbed for 8 minutes to let a late Amtrak long distance train pass us on track 1 and cross over to track 2 in front of us, so we called it a day and took the R8 back to 30th Street and took the subway/surface to 15th and Broad Street Subway to Walnut/Locust for our return home on PATCO.
