Train travel in Philadelphia is regulated under the authority of SEPTA. The 30th Street Station is the primary railroad station of Philadelphia, along with the Suburban Station which is an underground rail station for commuters. SEPTA carefully manages several trains all across Philadelphia that serves a large busy crowd of people. The trains also serve travelers and visitors alike who can opt for trains from Philadelphia to New York for extremely affordable prices.
Your Philadelphia travel would be an incomplete experience unless you take a ride in Philadelphia's fine line up of commuter trains. These commuter trains all stop at 30th Street Station and end in the Suburban station.
The important Main Line runs through the area of the same name which is actually a group of very posh suburbs. The R5 and R6, operated by SEPTA, connect this area to the Center City of Philadelphia. Landing up in Philadelphia's most affluent suburban area is extremely easy due to the efficient railway system. Train fares start at around 3$ and go up to around 7$ depending upon your station. Popular suburbs like Chestnut Hill are frequented by travelers who always opt for trains.
