== [[Train hopping|Trains]] Public transport ==There are three major railways in Philadelphia: Amtrak, NJ Transit, and SEPTA.=== Amtrak ===Amtrak trains leave constantly from 30th Street Station, located at 30th and Market streets.

Philadelphia is also on the NJT Atlantic City line--this stop is in 30th Street Station.=== SEPTA ===If you're hitching out of Philadelphia, SEPTA is a good place to start. SEPTA (South East Penn. Transit Authority) services Philadelphia's local buses, subways, trolleys, and trains.
The Philadelphia-area public transportation network is called SEPTA (South East Pennsylvania Transit Authority). It encompasses local buses and , subways, trolleys are nearly impossible to hitch on and, for the most part, remain within in the city anyway.The subway is good and cheap if you need to get around the city, but are also difficult to hitchtrains.
The buses and trolleys are nearly impossible to blackride on and, for the most part, remain within in the city anyway.The subway is good and cheap if you need to get around the city, but are also difficult to blackride on. However, the trains are fairly easy to hitchblackride on. You can get out of the city in most any direction via SEPTA's regional rail train. Most of these trains don't check tickets until after you're on; if tickets are checked pre-boarding, just wait for the next train. Conductors come around after each stop checking for new fares, so unless you buy a ticket you'll be asked to get off at the next stop if you don't pay up on-board. However, many passengers leave their tickets on-board, so finding one before the conductor comes through is possible.
