Wrong skyline printed on Philly Beer Week transit pass (AP)

From The Associated Press via USA Today:

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Philadelphia's largest transit agency sold a pass with a picture of the New York City skyline on it.

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 were being printed.

The $9 pass is good for one day of unlimited travel on SEPTA buses, trolleys and subways and many commuter trains. It can be used any day during the festival, which runs from March 6 to March 15.
