Navy Yards Shuttle experiences?

Question? :snoo_thoughtful:

I might be starting a job soon at the Navy Yards. Anyone have experience with this shuttle? Is it reliable, clean, etc?

How much is the fare?

I live in NW Philly so would regional rail it down to Center City.

I take it everyday. It's free, it's generally on time, it's always clean, the other riders are courteous, and the drivers are nice -- especially the one guy who looks a little like Hannibal Buress.

Nice! Thanks! So it's just hop on, hop off?

Yup! Two stops in center city (10th and Filbert, 4th and market), and then several stops in the Navy Yard. If you're going to be working around the Tastykake factory/Revzilla area, the dropoff is a little bit far. You might consider the Navy Yard Loop in that case, which goes around the entire Navy Yard, but only drops off/picks up at the stadium BSL stop.

I take it pretty much everyday, it's great. Frequent and fast in the mornings. Evenings are motion sickness central for me due to stop and go pick-ups around the Navy Yard route and bad traffic on 95; but hey, it's free.

10th and Filbert pick up is recommended. If there are no seats/ room left when the bus arrives at 4th the driver may make you wait for the next bus

I take it about twice a week. Reliable, clean, can get fairly crowded on the 9-5 shift buses.

My dad takes it on a regular basis, I've never heard of a problem
