Eagles fans who want to avoid traffic or other dangerous driving conditions after attending games at Lincoln Financial Field this football season are in luck – SEPTA is providing free rides on the Broad Street Line after every home game.
The postgame service begins Friday with the Eagles' first preseason game. Kickoff against the New York Jets is at 7:30 p.m. Free rides from NRG Station, at Broad Street and Pattison Avenue, will run from 9:30 p.m. to midnight.
