The Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) has added the Travel Wallet feature to its Key Early Adopters program. The Travel Wallet enables riders to load Key cards with cash value and pay as they go on all buses, trams and the Market-Frankford and Broad Street Lines.
SEPTA is using a soft-launch approach for the Travel Wallet to help familiarize customers with this new way of paying, and to help ensure it can address any issues that customers experience before moving to a larger rollout. During this soft-launch rollout, funds in a customer’s Travel Wallet can only be used to pay for one person. It cannot be tapped multiple times to pay for more than one rider, this is a feature that will be added in a later phase of the Key rollout.
“The Travel Wallet is a great option for customers who currently use cash or tokens and transfers for their regular travel. It’s also a convenient choice for those who only ride a few days a week or for occasional customers, because it eliminates the need to pre-purchase tokens or have exact change,” said SEPTA General Manager Jeffrey D. Knueppel.
