PHILADELPHIA — Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA), Amtrak and PATCO joined Mayor Michael Nutter to discuss preliminary plans for when Pope Francis visits the city in late September, the Philly Voice reported.
With as many as two million people expected to hit the city during the event, Mayor Nutter said Philadelphians should be prepared to walk a few miles or more, since private vehicles will not be a viable option and public transportation routes and schedules will be altered for efficiency and capacity purposes.
