I suppose an agency without explicit peak vs. off-peak periods could contrive a way to define all periods as "peak" by default, thus skirting the requirement in the law. There would technically be nothing illegal about SEPTA's new course if they considered 12:01a to 11:59p daily their "peak" period.I can understand wanting people to bear a standardized pass indicating eligibility (like most systems require for people with disabilities) that way systems can establish people are eligible and not leave it up to an individual conductor, inspector, operator, etc. to determine what is or is not valid identification for half fares. The processes to getting those passes should become more streamlined and expeditious, though. All the more reason to require transit pass interoperability nationwide...that way people could qualify in their home place and use the same media anywhere when they travel. |
