SEPTA is redfaced over its new "Philly Beer Week" day pass, which features the skyline of... New York City.
Septa is selling a $9.00, one-day pass that will allow you to get around Philadelphia without driving during Philly Beer Week, from March 6th to March 15.
One problem: the skyline on the pass isn't Philly -- it's New York, admits Septa spokeswoman Jerri Williams:
"It was designed in-house by one of our graphic artists. And I think people liked the look of the skyline but unfortunately didn't take a really good look to see that it wasn't Philadelphia. It's a stock photo."
Williams says that Septa is redesigning the pass, and new corrected ones are being printed at what she calls a "minimal" cost.
She says either pass -- the one with the New York skyline, or the proper Philadelphia skyline, will be accepted during Beer Week.
