SEPTA's sweeping service cuts are now in effect across our region. Trains and buses will run less frequently, and some bus routes are disappearing altogether. The service cuts will affect a number of SEPTA services, including the express trains to the South Philadelphia Sports Complex.

The express trains to the Sports Complex are one of the many services SEPTA is cutting. Ahead of the Phillies' game against the Nationals on Sunday afternoon, the team encouraged fans to be proactive and give themselves more time to get to and from the ballpark.

"For fans driving to the Sports Complex, tailgating parking lots will continue to open five hours before the first pitch, with all other parking lots opening three hours before the first pitch, for Phillies home games," the Phillies said in an announcement.
