Philly Transit Pass



PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Philadelphia's largest transit agency is embarrassed about a pass it sold that features a picture of the New York City skyline.



The pass marked with the Philly Beer Week logo is sold to discourage people from driving from one event to another during the beer festival.



Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority spokeswoman Jerri Williams says people liked the look of the pass but didn't realize the stock photo was of the wrong city. New passes are being printed.



The $9, one-day pass is for use during the festival, which runs from March 6 to March 15.


And a lot of people are still using stock photos showing the World Trade Center towers.
