December 2024 Fare Increase

SEPTA is implementing a 7.5% fare increase effective Sunday, December 1, 2024.

Travel Wallet, SEPTA Key Tix, and contactless fare on buses, subways, and trolleys increases from $2.00 to $2.50 which is the same as the cash fare. Two (2) free transfers on buses, subways, and trolleys remains but we have eliminated restrictions on direction of travel for transfers - introducing new flexibility that allows for more roundtrips on a single fare.

Single-trip fares on Regional Rail have increased to align Travel Wallet with Quick Trip pricing by Zone.

Onboard Regional Rail fares are the same no matter what time of day or day (weekday and weekend fares are the same). We have discontinued the Evening Weekday Off Peak Fare Discount.

All daily, weekly, and monthly passes remain the same price.

We moved three (3) Zone 2 stations (Overbrook, Wissahickon, and Tulpehocken) into Zone 1 bringing the total number of Zone 1 stations to 18. Customers with a weekly or monthly TransPass+ (formerly called TransPass) can access all Zone 1 stations at no additional cost. This change supports the vision of SEPTA's Reimagining Regional Rail plan to integrate Regional Rail with SEPTA Metro and Bus. However TransPass+ holders no longer enjoy free weekday off peak travel to/from all Philadelphia Regional Rail stations. We also eliminated free weekday off peak travel to/from Zone 2 or higher stations for TransPass+, and Zone 1, and Zone 3 TrailPass holders.

Seniors 65+ continue to ride free.

Kids under twelve continue to ride free.

SEPTA's last fare increase was in 2017. Planned fare increases in 2020 were deferred due to the pandemic.

SEPTA held public hearings on October 16, 2024 regarding this fare increase.
