Transportation Question

Hello everyone,

I%26#39;m going to the King Tut exhibit on Sunday (9/30) and will be arriving in Philadelphia via Greyhound. What is the best way to get to the Franklin Museum from the bus station? I%26#39;d prefer to take public transportation, but if I have to take a taxi, how much would it cost and how long would it take?

Thanks in advance!

Honestly, if the weather is nice, its a 15-30 min walk.

There is a tut shuttle on arch that runs hourly, a taxi will be about $10 plus tip.

Shouldn%26#39;t the cab fare be less than that? It%26#39;s not much more than a mile from the bus station to the FI.

It%26#39;s the closing day of the exhibit, crowds are supposed to be insane and some streets may be blocked. I added wait time in...

Cab fare shouldn%26#39;t be more than $6 from the Terminal. 21st might be blocked off ( it has been on occasion - but that is due to the construction at the old Board of Ed), however you can easily get out on the Parkway or on the other side of the FI.

Thank you everyone. Sounds like walking or getting a cab would be good ways to get to the institute. Is SEPTA not a good idea?

SEPTA won%26#39;t help you much. Best you can do is take the 33 bus from Market Street up to the Franklin Institute, but it probably only runs 2 or 3 times an hour. Faster to walk. It%26#39;s a ten minute ride on the 33 as it is.
