The Bishop's office will have unmarked, plain, white passenger vans from the Priority Shuttle company, marked "Philadelphia Episcopal Church Shuttle" in the window of the vans, running a continuous loop from the entrance on the 29th Street side of the 30th Street Train Station (this is the side closer to the river) to the Philadelphia Episcopal Cathedral on Friday (5:30 - 9:00 p.m.) and Saturday (7:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.). Exit out the station on the side where there is a large bronze statue of an angel. If you have any problems or questions while waiting for a shuttle van, contact Priority Shuttle at 215-333-4000 and they will do their best to direct you to the shuttle vans.
