SEPTA New Payment Technology
Over the next three years, SEPTA plans to implement a new method of paying fares. A new payment method is long overdue for SEPTA, who still uses tokens and exact change as forms of payment. SEPTA plans to replace their current fare system with a new "smart" system, known as NPT, or New Payment Technology (SEPTA). The new method of fare payment will include all subways, buses, trolleys, Regional Rail and CCT vehicles (SEPTA). The new payment system offers riders a variety of payment options, including cash and refillable cards (SEPTA). The NPT project is expected to be completed by 2015.
This payment will more resemble New York City's MTA fare payment plan, which uses the refillable metrocard. SEPTA's various or lack thereof forms of payment has been the source of countless criticisms and complaints for a long period of time. This change of payment is a huge step forward for SEPTA, and is sure to improve overall customer satisfaction when the plan is finally implemented.
