== Public transport ==
The Philadelphia-area public transportation network is called SEPTA ([http://www.septa.org website]). It encompasses local buses, subways, trolleys, and trains. You can get transit directions from their website or [http://maps.google.com Google Maps].
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.
=== Regional Rail ===
However, the trains are fairly easy to blackride 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.
