Philadelphia hockey fans can take SEPTA's Broad Street Line to Flyers home games at Wells Fargo Center, transit officials said. The subway line runs directly to the NRG/Pattison station adjacent to the arena, providing service throughout weekdays and weekends. Officials didn't specify service frequency during game times or whether additional trains run for special events.
Background on Transit Access

The 12.5-mile subway line includes 28 stations and connects Center City Philadelphia to South Philadelphia's sports complex, transit officials said. SEPTA provides regular service to major sporting events and entertainment venues as part of standard operations, though specific ridership data for Flyers games wasn't available. Transit agencies in major cities typically promote subway access to arenas as an alternative to driving and parking.

The standard one-way fare is $2.50, according to SEPTA's fare information.

The NRG/Pattison station serves Wells Fargo Center along with other South Philadelphia sports venues including Lincoln Financial Field and Citizens Bank Park.
