SEPTA’s Switching To Swipes
Searching for another way to anger and confuse old people, starting July 1st 2014 SEPTA is introducing a new card based payment method and hiking up the price of a ride.
Not to worry, the always helpful SEPTA staff is being retrained as “customer attendants” to help and the tokens will still be available for purchase until the system actually starts functioning. Find out all the details here, or just keep taking cabs.

Fare hike 7/1/2013, swipe system not until the end of the year.
you might want to read the actual article before reporting on it. the smart card system won’t go into effect until july 1 2014, not june 1 of this year.
I don’t like this newfangled system. I remember back in the good old days when the trolley used to cost a nickel! Now we got all these kids with their headphones and their rap music and their swipe cards ruining everything.
Do you know how to read?! Or maybe you don’t know the difference between a 3 and 4! Why don’t you just trust Jess? She’s clearly way smarter and funnier than you.
Best system ever. They’re doing what needs to be done.
