My friend and I am going to Philly on NJT to SEPTA and coming back to NY on BoltBus on this Friday. What locations will be the best to get picture of Chinatown Bus, MegaBus, Greyhound, Trailways, etc? I also want to get picture of tour buses and trolley buses again. |

Center City would be best. Chinatown Buses generally hang around 11th and Filbert Streets (by the gallery, one block north of Market Street). It's easy to find the Greyhound and Trailways buses by the bus depot at 10th and Filbert. All of the buses leave on 10th street (which is one way). For the Bolt and Megabus lines, 30th and JFK (across the street from Amtrak's 30th Street Station) is where you can find them. They are by the LUCY boarding location. I'm not sure what you'll get in the way of tour buses, but Independence Hall (5th and Market) is the place to go for Big Bus. I think they also run up Market Street and JFK Blvd, as well as the Parkway, but I'm not 100% sure of their routing. PHLASH isn't in service at the moment either. Philadelphia Trolley Works tends to hang out in Independence Hall if I'm not mistaken (it's been a while). For trolleybuses, you can always go to Frankford Transpotation Center for the 66 or go to Arrott Street Terminal (at Market-Orthodox Station) for views of the 75 and 59 trolleybus lines. |

Greyhound Terminal, 11th & Arch St, Center City Penn's Landing Of Route 95, Old City 22nd St & Ben Franklin Blvd, Fairmount 7th & Vine Streets, Off Rt 30 and I-676, Chinatown The Navy Yard, South Philadelphia Those Are My Suggestions, Though You May See Large Buses In Other Areas 5th & Market, Society Hill Septa Trackless Trolleys Rts 59, 66, & 75 Are Stationed At Frankford Depot, Rt 66 Runs All Along Frankford Avenue From Frankford Transportation Center To City Line, Rt 75 Along Wyoming From Arrott Terminal To Wayne Junction Station, And The 59 Runs Along Castor Av From Arrott Terminal To Bells Corner. Those Are Suggested Areas For Trackless Trolleys, AKA Trolleybuses, But You Can See Them All Rest At Frankford Edited by NeoplanDudeJosMuller, Aug 27 2014, 12:21 PM.
