SEPTA Celebrates Valentine's Day with "Moving" Love Stories Contest

January 28, 2011

PHILADELPHIA, PA - Did Cupid's arrow strike your heart while you were riding on SEPTA? Did you find bliss on the bus or romance on the rails?

From January 28 through February 10, riders who found new romance or re-connected with old flames on a SEPTA bus, train or trolley can submit their "moving" tales, photos and videos to the SEPTA Love Stories website, www.septalovestories.org. The public will vote for their favorite stories from January 28 through February 11 and the 14 couples with the most loved submissions will win an invitation to ride on the Mural Arts "Love Train" - a specially decorated Market-Frankford Line six-car train, attend a VIP champagne reception and view a screening of the Love Letters documentary - all on Sunday, February 13. The reception and screening will be held at SEPTA's 1234 Market Street headquarters.

During the Love Train tour Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter will officiate at the wedding of a young couple.
