By: RYDE PopeBus.com’ “The World Meeting of Families will bring an unprecedented number of people to the Parkway, and RYDE is looking to use our service platform to alleviate the strain that massive level of daily visitors will put on the transportation system,” said Bob Aube, Co-Founder of RYDE and PopeBus.com. “With PopeBus.com, we are providing an innovative means of getting into the congested city. We will pick people up at Park and Rides listed on our website, and link directly with SEPTA locations. SEPTA has lots of tickets left, but there is limited parking at the stations in comparison to the number of train tickets sold…and hence our innovative partnership.” Stated Andrew Ballard, World Meeting of Families, Transportation Consultant: “The World Meeting of Families and GO GROUND are very excited to see that RYDE and PopeBus.com are the first to embrace our proposed shuttle solution. This enables those who wish to experience the Papal Weekend to more easily access the WMOF festivities via Regional Rail Service. This service will keep buses in the outlying suburbs. We are working hard to make this a wonderful event for the attendees, and we support RYDE’s efforts to complement our plans.” PopeBus.com has begun seat reservations via their website, and they have already secured the school buses from First Student – a leading supplier of school buses – to carry passengers from the Park and Rides to the train stations. For passenger convenience, tickets for both the bus shuttle and the $10 SEPTA daily pass train tickets will be available as a package from PopeBus.com. For some, this package deal may be the best way to obtain SEPTA train tickets as the event draws closer. Event-day ticket purchases are not available from SEPTA. PopeBus.com Pick-Up Locations The PopeBus.com shuttle buses will pick up passengers from Park and Rides counties in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, and Maryland. The buses will return to those locations at the end of the each day. PopeBus.com and SEPTA have assigned Pennsylvania stations Pennbrook, Norristown, Media, Levittown, Woodbourne, as well as Eastwick and Wilmington, Delaware as the target locations for the PopeBus.com drop-offs; return trips will pick up from these same locations. The trains will be dropping passengers off at the Jefferson, 30th street, and University City locations, a 0.8 /1.3/1.8 mile walk respectively to the parkway.
