Fares

SEPTA offers customers a variety of fare options to suit their travel needs

Paying the base cash fare is one way to go, but many of our fare instruments offer significant discounts.

Discounts are available for
senior citizens
, riders with disabilities, children, students, some college students, families, and groups.

SEPTA fare instruments may be purchased at over 400 Retail Sales Locations in the region and over 700 area businesses offer incentives to employees who use public transportation through the Commuters Choice program.
