context_page_description: Transportation in Philadelphia involves the various modes of transport within the city and its required infrastructure. In addition to facilitating intracity travel, Philadelphia's transportation system connects Philadelphia to towns of its metropolitan area and cities of the Boston-Washington megalopolis.
  The city is crossed by the Delaware Expressway and the Schuylkill Expressway, which are the principal thoroughfares for intercity traffic. The Vine Street Expressway travels between I-76 and I-95 in Center City Philadelphia, and the Roosevelt Boulevard carries crosstown traffic in northern Philadelphia.
  Philadelphia's public transit system is mainly operated by the Southeast Pennsylvania Transportation Authority, which maintains an extensive system utilizing buses, rapid transit, commuter rail, trolleys, and the Philadelphia trackless trolley system. The main rail station of Philadelphia is 30th Street Station, which has access to 13 SEPTA Regional Rail routes and 11 Amtrak intercity rail routes. Philadelphia International Airport, the primary airport of Philadelphia, is a hub for domestic and international aviation.
context_section_description: Philadelphia has several multi-use river trails. A segment of the Schuylkill River Trail passes along the Schuylkill River from Locust Street northward to Valley Forge, near King of Prussia mall. In Philadelphia, most of the trail runs through Fairmount Park. The trail to Valley Forge totals 10.5 miles (16.9 km), and when completed, will total 140 miles (230 km) to Hamburg, Pennsylvania.
  The Wissahickon Trail branches off from the Schuylkill River Trail and runs along the Wissahickon Creek, terminating near Germantown Avenue. The Pennypack Trail runs along the Pennypack Creek, from the Delaware River to Fox Chase Farm. Sections of the Cobbs Creek and Tacony Creek also have trails.
