The King of Prussia Mall, one of the largest shopping complexes in the U.S., is about a 10-minute drive from my house. For that reason, I've driven there with a car all of my life. However, yesterday, I wanted to experience what using public transportation to get there would be like.

There is no direct form of public transportation between Berwyn and King of Prussia. You need to go from Paoli for that. There are two ways to get to Paoli from Berwyn via public transportation: either take a train from the Berwyn train station (Paoli is only two stops away heading west on the Paoli-Thorndale train line), or take the 106 bus from Lancaster Ave. and Bridge Ave. I took the train, and from Paoli station, I walked about half-a-mile to the intersection of Lancaster Ave. and Plank Ave. There is a Starbucks located there, so it's hard to miss.

You cross the street and take the 92 bus, which connects the city of West Chester to the King of Prussia Mall. From the Paoli stops, it's about a 20-minute ride to the mall. The bus stops in front of an entrance area in the Plaza section of the mall (for those unfamiliar, the King of Prussia Mall is divided into two parts: The Plaza and The Court).
To return to Berwyn, use bus 92, but head back the other way, and you can either get off at Paoli train station to take a train back, or get off at any stop that has a 106 bus heading towards Berwyn.
Traveling this way is definitely more time-consuming than using a car, but it's good if you are in an adventurous mood and have time to spare.
