PATCO offering 'flashback' prices for Friday morning commute

PATCO is celebrating its 50th anniversary with reduced "flashback" fares on Friday.

On this date in 1969, PATCO made its first trip from Lindenwold, New Jersey, to Center City Philadelphia

To mark the occasion, riders who board between 6 a.m. and 11 a.m. will pay the same price that the first passengers paid, 50 years ago.

The Flashback Fares to and from Philadelphia are:

• 60 cents at Lindenwold, Ashland, and Woodcrest

• 50 cents at Haddonfield, Westmont, and Collingswood

• 40 cents at Ferry Ave., Camden

• 30 cents at Broadway, City Hall, and Camden

• 30 cents between PATCO stations in Philadelphia

• 40 cents between all New Jersey stations

A celebration, complete with a cookie giveaway and DJ, will be held at the Woodcrest station from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m.

PATCO employees will be at eight New Jersey stations (Lindenwold to Broadway) from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. handing out a commemorative reproduction of the original timetable from 1969.
