We are arriving to PHL airport around 9am, then leave for Seattle at 6pm. We would like to venture into the city for Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, and a cheesesteak. I see Septa has a day pass called Independence pass which includes subway, regional trains, and buses, which work perfect for us. Can this be bought from the kiosks at the airport (we do not have a septa keycard)? All the literature says, buy it from the conductor, but I see on Septa website it says conductors will not sell these passes anymore and need to buy at a ticket window. But the airport doesn't have a ticket window!?!? Or do the kiosks at the airport now sell the independence passes?
When you where able to buy from conductor they would sell you an independence pass for cash and would give you a receipt, when you got into the city center, you exchanged the receipt for the actual pass at a Septa ticket window. And the website to buy the pass ahead of time has been disabled.
