Penna., new driver license. Affects Septa

No more magnetic stripe

Septa is pushing the Key Card system, I got my Septa Senior Key Card late last year after waiting 5 months after I applied for it. So eventually , when the new driver's license comes out, seniors will not be able to use it as a fare instrument, and will be forced to apply for a Septa Senior Key Card.
If a senior waits too long to do this, he/she will have to pay a cash fare or something.

Even if they kept the magnetic stripe, isn't the Key Card based on chips anyway?

The Key cards are waved at the readers, so it must be proximity chip?

Sucks for tourists and occasional users.

Sounds like a basis for a class action discrimination suit.

Why can't you just show an ID to the agent or driver?
