Where to buy electric bell used at temple?

How is public transportation in Philadelphia near Temple University?

  • Hello! I will be attending Temple University this fall and live on campus. I dont have a car ( Im hoping to buy one before I leave for school, but may not have the money), and wanted to know if commuting around Philly buy subway and metro is convienent or not. Ive never been to Philly, but hope to be able to get around the city and then some on public transit. So, If you know or have used Philly transit, how is it???

  • Answer:

    There's plenty and you can get around easily, if you're willing to hop from bus to subway to trolley & train. A monthly pass is reasonable and gives you unlimited rides within a certain zone, so your travels in and around Temple will be cheap enough. However, it's not the safest transit system so keep your ears open and stay alert, no drowsing off by the window seat with your iPod playing!

I am a Freshman now at Temple. I live in 1940 and I have taken the subway and train around - which are both very convenient. I have never taken a bus - although I know there is the Temple Owl Loop (that brings you around campus) as well as buses to Ambler Campus and Elkins Park. On the most part, if you are planning on taking classes on main campus and maybe going into the city for shopping/museums/sightseeing/etc you should be fine taking the Regional Rail or the Subway (which are on the edge of campus but not off campus). As far as security goes, the train station is in a somewhat bad area and the subway is a little (pardon my language) "ghetto fabulous" at times - I would avoid taking either alone at night. It's a good idea to travel with groups of people. If you want any information go to Septa.org (the public transportation in Philadelphia). I find this helpful when mapping out where I need to go. P.S. I don't know where you are from, but keep in mind - you should visit Temple before making your final decision. The area is a bit rough. But hey, it might be the school of your dreams! If you want any inside information on dorms or life here at temple shoot me up an email :)

I work and live in Philly and I take public trans to work everyday because parking sucks in Center City. And I have no problem most buses run every 10 -15 minutes during peak hours and off peak hours a pretty good as well. The trains or okay as well. I never had a problem been using it for about 15 plus years.
