Patco 12th/13th St. Station

This is the 2^nd-​to-​last stop on the Patco line, when arriving from Jersey. (Last stop is 15^th/​16^th Locust). This is the best stop to use for the gayborhood area of Philly. Like all Patco stations, this one is always clean.
From this stop, there is underground access to the Broadstreet line, and if you continue walking the tunnels, you can gain access to the Macy’s building, as well as the suburban station concourse (depending on which direction you go). When in doubt, follow the crowd, or just ask someone which way to go, as there aren’t really any signs directing you.
As with all Patco stations, the ticket machines accept cash or credit (although sometimes the credit function is disabled). Just make sure if you’re paying w/​cash you use small bills, as the machines dispense change via $ 1 coins. Many of my friends have had to walk around for the day/​night w/​$ 15 worth of dollar coins weighing down their pockets, so be aware.
