SEPTA says the biggest changes would be for riders who utilize SEPTA key cards, credit and debit cards to pay.
The board will have to listen to public input before making these changes, but the board president says most of them are already ready to vote yes because the SEPTA budget is in need of help.The new fares would go into effect on December 1.
"This proposal would generate $14 million per year - should, would enhance safety, security and improve service," said SEPTA CEO Leslie Richards.Right now, SEPTA faces a $240 million annual deficit. This proposal would also allow for more freedom with transfers. A quick trip would be the price of a one-way fare.
In the annual budget, Harrisburg approved a one-time $80 million payment towards SEPTA, but the agency is holding out for more permanent help.
