SEPTA says it is offering Winter Classic fans a free trip on the Broad Street Line from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday, January 2 for the NHL outdoor game between the New York Rangers and the Philadelphia Flyers.
The transportation authority says it has partnered with Pepsi MAX to provide the free rides for the game.

The Rangers-Flyers game is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m. at Citizens Bank Park. NHL crews have been working regularly to prepare the ice for the nationally televised game.
