New Payment TechnologySEPTA has not figured out how to use it for Regional Rail. They keep announcing plans, then DVARP (Delaware Valley Association of Railroad Passengers) points out the fatal flaws. |

Thanks Bob. Yes, my post was spurred by DVARP's seemingly well written and comprehensive article on the subject in their recent newsletter. |

As Bob said, "New Payment Technology," which is their upcoming RFID fare card and all associated new infrastructure to support its implementation.If the platforms at certain stations are behind fare gates, then you won't be able to railfan for free any more on those platforms unless you pay to enter the system at that station or arrive at that station by train. And if there aren't fare gates but instead the platforms are within a paid fare zone where you have to tap in before entering, then you can railfan the platform without paying but you'd risk getting a ticket for non-payment of fare. I see these as very serious issues for the commuter rail railfan. |

Yeah, but do you really think they care about the railfan?They care about getting paid. This is mainly to make it so conductors on packed trains don't have to collect fares in Center City. |

Where did I say they care about railfans? And why does it matter whether they care about railfans? We should be up in arms regardless, and if we can think of any alternate solutions, we should present them henceforth and so on and so forth and such and all that jazz. |
