UPDATE: I sent an email to SEPTA Customer Service asking about school token prices.
This should be fun. A lot of kids depend on transfers that we get with our school tokens. No more transfers = 2x as many tokens needed. Figure that the price stays the same. $10 for a pack of $10 tokens. I use one token/trip because I get a transfer. Thats two tokens a day, five days in a week, one pack a week. If I need two tokens/trip due to no transfers, thats 4 tokens/day, 20 tokens/week, two packs a week. $10/pack x 2 = $20/week $20/week x 4 weeks = $80/month Figure 1 month = 20 school days. On average, we have 180 school days. So, thats 9 months worth of tokens. $90/month x 9 = $720 a year in tokens. AND that means that I could only take the 18/67 or the 26/67. Two other routes popular with kids getting from Center City to the Northeast, for Central kids atleast, is taking BSL/70/67 or BSL/28/67. THIS is all compared to.. 10 tokens/week= 1 pack 1 pack a week = $10 4 packs a month = $40/month $40/month x 9 = $360/year in tokens /rant |

Could it be possible that SEPTA could be bringing in a fare system similar to NYCMTA's and possibly purchasing new fareboxes to welcome it in? There could be a reason why all the emilinations and fare hikes. |

Bingo! They need someone to soak up the 29 Million in costs for it. (That is if the State aprroves the budget and SEPTA gets the 101 Million it needs so desparate). |

SEPTA nailed it down to the science, they are forcing more and more people to buy transpasses, there's no possible way that many people will carry around nothing but tokens to get from A to B. |

Yet another way SEPTA is trying to eliminate cash. They figure if more people use passes, then there will be less moeny in the vaults. |
