Yes, but at least you can mail it in, and not appear in person. So an out of town tourist could order one ahead of time.

You are welcome, Bill from Maspeth. Here's more....from an email I got.

It is important to note that SEPTA Senior Fares to Trenton, NJ (both lines) and Newark, Delaware are I believe 50% off regular fares while Senior fares within the state of Pennsylvania are all free after September 1st. Until then regional rail trains are $1 fares and all else is free. BUT YOU MUST APPLY IN PERSON at Market St. to fill out application and have picture taken following the guidelines in Brenda's messages.

I'm so happy that I got my Senior Card last year.
Senior Key Card

It's great that you now get it on the spot, I had to wait 4 months for mine. Yeah, technology!

It’s a similar situation on WMATA. The location to get senior citizen half fare cards is closed on weekends.

But they have to go there on a weekDAY, INPERSON to get one.
I can get a Passport Book (or card) through the mail, but not this.
Ridiculous

Agreed. One of many reasons locals call it SEPTIC.

WMATA BUS at least has a cash option for visitors

If you are visiting the area, you may pay the reduced bus fare by showing the bus operator a valid government-issued photo ID that includes your date of birth and address, or purchase the Senior SmarTrip® card and/or the $8.75 Metrobus Weekly Senior Pass at one of these locations. (links to a variety of locations some with evening and weekend hours) sounds a little better than SEPTA.

Unless you are available during the week to purchase a Senior SmarTrip® in person during the week you can’t ride the train for the senior fare.

3 of the locations shown at the web link have weekend hours. Is that incorrect? Poorly worded or wrong info at a website would not shock me, but that's what they give you....
