Reply to comment by mmmagic1216 in SEPTA working out kinks in mobile phone ticketing feature by bengalese

I think the idea is that it serves two separate usergroups - tourists can use this system and not have to physically get a septa key. That gets them access to bus, trolley, and subway, and if they need to get on the RR they can use cash/card on the train or buy single-trip tickets at a kiosk.

That may be right. But if SEPTA’s goal is to get ridership back to or close to pre-pandemic levels, its priority needs to be to make the system more friendly for the commuter.

Commuters should already know how a septa key works and now that it works on regional rail, it's never been easier.

Service is almost back to where it was - not quite, yet, but getting better.
