"Travel ANYWHERE WEEKENDS,HOLIDAYS" Privilige ?

Actually all passes have that ability, all except the student passes. Transpasses, Zone 1, 2, 3, & 4 have anywhere weekends & major hoilday privilige. Zone 5 & 6 have that ability during the week.

That's only for off-peak railroad. Besides there is only two four zone buses left in the system anyway.....

Obivously the 124 & 125 are the only four zone SEPTA bus routes left in the system.

I thought that the 104 was still a four zone bus route.

As late as 2000, these were the four zone bus routes still in the SEPTA system:

55- Broad & Olney Avenue, Jenkintown, Willow Grove, Horsham, Warrington & Cross Keys(City Transit Division- Midvale)

The 92(King of Prussia, West Chester via PA 252, Paoli, Exton & PA 100) was a four zone bus route when the route was first developed in the early 1980s. In the early 1990s, the 92 was trimmed down to a 3 zone route.

93- Norristown- Pottstown via Collegeville & Ridge Pike
96- Norristown -Telford via Blue Bell, Dekalb Pike & Lansdale
98- Oaks/Phoenixville & Norristown to Plymouth Meeting Mall & Willow Grove via Norristown, Germantown Pike, Blue Bell, Plymouth Meeting & Ambler.
99- Norristown- Royersford via Bridgeport, Dekalb Pike, King of Prussia, PA 23 & Phoenixville, as well as Spring City.

104- 69th Street(west terminal) to West Chester(via PA 3 & Newtown Square)

The 105 may have been a four zone route. The 105 was definitely a three zone route at least.

The 113 may have been a four zone route as well. This route takes forever from end to end.

The revamped 117(1991 extension to serve Cheyney University) & the newly created 119(1991 replacement of the West Chester Shuttle Bus) were made into four zone routes. Without West Chester Service on the weekends, the 117 was a three zone route.

118(Chester to Newtown Square via Garden City & Media: 2 zones)
118(Chester to King of Prussia via Garden City, Media, Newtown Square & Paoli: 4 zones)

All Zone 1 trail passes effectively are is On-peak rail Zone 1 passes for rail use. During the off-peak hours on the rail, you could use the Zone 1 transpass to ride in between the zone 1 stations/center city. If you don't ride on the rail during on-peak everyday. I would considered the purchase of a transpass...

I Rode the R5 to Wynewood today (Saturday) and i rode it back to C. City and none of the conductors said anything when they inspected my Trailpass.. THat just gave me knowledge that it was okay. I just didn't want to go out and find out i couldn't go to the destination.

Listen, Transpasses and Trailpasses both have ANYWHERE Privileges over the weekends. So you could take the R7 from Center City to Trenton using just a transpass. The only times when Zones and time matters is during the weekdays!!
