SEPTA will no longer accept paper tickets on Regional Rail trains or at turnstiles at stations starting Friday.
The regional transit agency said riders will have to use a SEPTA Key card to pay for fares.

SEPTA officials announced last fall that paper tickets would be phased out as the SEPTA Key program was expanded.
SEPTA Key is the transit agency’s new reloadable fare card. SEPTA Key can be used on Regional Rail, buses, trolleys, and the subway.
SEPTA Key users are asked to register the card as soon as they get it. Customers who register SEPTA Key cards within 30 days will be refunded the $4.95 purchase price.

Below are the ways SEPTA Key cards can be loaded:
- Pay as they go with Travel Wallet
- Load a Weekly (56 rides) or Monthly (240 rides) TrailPass
- Load a One Day Independence Pass (10 rides)
- Load a Three Day Independence Pass: Bundles three One Day Independence Passes together at a discounted rate. Can be used on any three days a customer chooses.
“We encourage our riders to make the switch to SEPTA Key,” said SEPTA General Manager Leslie Richards. “By using a SEPTA Key Card, customers get the lowest possible fare, including deeply discounted single-trip prices with the Travel Wallet.”
