Contact: Andrew Busch Chief Press Officer SEPTA Quick Trip Flexibility Expands on Market-Frankford & Broad Street Lines Start & Return Quick Trip Tickets Can Now Be Purchased Together PHILADELPHIA (October 5, 2017) – As part of the continuing expansion of the SEPTA Key, SEPTA is adding more flexibility for riders who use Quick Trip tickets for travel on the Market-Frankford (MFL) and Broad Street (BSL) Lines. Starting Friday, Oct. 6, customers can purchase one-way Quick Trip tickets for travel at any MFL/BSL station for use at any MFL/BSL station. This will allow customers the flexibility to buy two Quick Trips at one time – one for the start of their trip, and the second for their return trip. All Quick Trip tickets must be used on the date of purchase. Until now, Quick Trips have only been valid for one-way travel from the station where the ticket was purchased. This added convenience allows customers to purchase Quick Trips for both legs of their trip in one transaction at a SEPTA Key Fare Kiosk. SEPTA Key Fare Kiosks are located at all Broad Street and Market-Frankford Line stations. Launched in fall 2016, the Quick Trip is a single-ride, magnetic stripe ticket for Market-Frankford and Broad Street Line service. A Quick Trip is $2.50, the same as SEPTA’s regular cash fare. The Quick Trip has added flexibility for riders by allowing them to use credit and debit cards for single- trip travel. The kiosks also give customers change if they use cash and don't have exact fare. Here are some other important notes about Quick Trips for SEPTA customers: Each Quick Trip is valid for one trip only – no transfers/no reloads. (Note: Riders who need to transfer are encouraged to get a SEPTA Key Card and load money in the Travel Wallet) A Quick Trip is valid for travel only on the date purchased Swipe the Quick Trip at a turnstile for entrance to all Market Frankford and Broad Street Line Stations Quick Trips are not valid for use on buses at any time The new two-trip purchase does not apply to Regional Rail Quick Trips for the Airport Line For more information about the SEPTA Key and Quick Trips, visit http://www.septa.org/key/index.html. ### .

Technology adoption in the public transportation sector follows this process and as a result, adoption can occur long after the technology is available. As in other sectors, technology has and continues to transform transportation in the US and around the world.

SEPTA UPDATES and SERVICE INFORMATION Regional Rail Service to Increase to Hourly Service Starting Monday, June 29 Travel Toolkit for Businesses and Employees
SEPTA UPDATES AND SERVICE INFORMATION Regional Rail Service to Increase to Hourly Service Starting Monday, June 29 Travel Toolkit for Businesses and Employees Information in this Update Regional Rail Service Increases to Hourly Service Beginning Monday, June 29 Business and Employee Travel Toolkit SEPTA Operating Status Effective Sunday, June 28 Regional Rail Service Frequency Will increase to Hourly Service Beginning Monday, June 29 With most of the region preparing to enter the Green Phase of reopening this weekend, SEPTA will increase service frequency on Regional Rail and restore service to all Market-Frankford Line, Broad Street Line and Trolley stations. These service enhancements are being implemented as part of SEPTA’s phased return-to-service plan. SEPTA’s measured approach to restoring service -- beginning with the resumption of normal transit service on May 17th -- has allowed SEPTA to add capacity in response to the region’s changing travel needs while preparing for eventual increases in ridership. Throughout the COVID-19 crisis, SEPTA service has been driven by employee and customer safety. As travel restrictions are lifted, and more customers return to SEPTA’s buses, trains and trolleys, our return-to-service plan remains focused on those same priorities. REGIONAL RAIL FREQUENCY INCREASES TO HOURLY SERVICE Beginning on Monday, June 29, Regional Rail will increase to hourly service on most lines, with Paoli/Thorndale and the Airport Line operating every 30 minutes throughout the day. The Chestnut Hill West Line will remain suspended to accommodate track and right-of-way improvements, and service on the Cynwyd Line will also remain suspended until further notice.
