Description

Conveniently sized for pocket or purse, The PRT Traveler was a biweekly news leaflet produced by the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company (a predecessor of today’s mass transit system, SEPTA) and placed in transit vehicles and stations throughout the city. The 1935 PRT Traveler included tips on getting to the Flower Show. Visitors had a choice of taking the Market-Frankford “EL,” one of several bus and trolley routes, or a “Yellow or Quaker Cab (in which five can ride as cheaply as one).” Getting visitors to the show was and continues to be a priority for SEPTA.
