No. The Drexel Bridge is a railroad bridge that crosses Market St and JFK.

JFK, Market, Chestnut run parallel. The bridge crosses all of them.

30th St. Station - which is an enormous neo-classical/art deco building - cuts off JFK. JFK doesn't run between 29th & 30th because the station is where the street would run through.

If you take the subway from 11th to 30th when you exit the subway at 30th St. you will be across the street from the train station - not in it.

(Just going off of what I see on maps here) From the maps it looks like if 31st ran into this area it would be about halfway across this bridge portion of jfk boulevard that has been mentioned, so I will head there and look for anything remotely mentioning megabus in some fashion, either at some point on this bridge (Jfk boulevard) or after walking the length of the bridge. Again just going off the maps here, I'm sure just looking at my surroundings when I'm in the moment will give me the best idea. Thanks again everyone!
If you're at 30th and JFK, you really can't miss megabus. It stops on JFK (which only exists on the 3000 Block) and there will be signs on posts telling people where to stand for which bus, a megabus attendant or two to help people, and other people waiting for buses.

Boltbus travels out of essentially the same place. So you'll see a similar setup for them.

Yeah, you'll be okay. Please let us know how it goes. Megabus does have wi-fi after all

Yes, you can get a taxi at the Greygound, but beware! Yesterday the traffic was horrible. I've never seen so many people in Philadelphia and all that beeping! I felt like I was in Chicago. Must be because of the autoshow?
