PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — Fans attending this summer’s FIFA World Cup matches at the Linc can take SEPTA home for free.
Airbnb is partnering with nonprofit Philadelphia Soccer 2026 and the City of Philadelphia to sponsor complimentary Broad Street Line rides after each match.
The free rides will take effect starting at halftime of each game and will last until two hours after the match ends.
Regular fares will apply for travel to the games.
SEPTA will operate regularly scheduled service as well as express trains that run every 10 minutes or less.
Philadelphia is hosting six World Cup games at the Linc between June 14 and July 4.

Conversely, those attending matches at the Meadowlands in North Jersey will have to pay $150 for NJ Transit train tickets and $80 for buses.
New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill said she would not let commuters get stuck with a nearly $50 million transportation bill. Sherrill said she inherited a deal from the previous administration that didn’t require FIFA to pay for any transit costs. FIFA said it’s surprised by the governor’s decision because previous events at the Meadowlands were not required to cover fan transportation.
