Combining HOHO with SEPTA & Ferries — Expand Your Range

Mixing HOHO with local transit gives you access to neighborhoods and attractions beyond the main loop.

Practical pairings

Ferry: Seasonal rides to Camden (Adventure Aquarium) and scenic river views.

HOHO fares are separate from SEPTA; pick a combined travel plan if you expect heavy local transit use.
