Senior citizens now need to show a special photo ID card to get free or discounted rides on SEPTA. On its website, SEPTA says that it "urges all senior citizen riders to register for a Key Photo ID Card to ensure they have no interruption in traveling free on all SEPTA buses, subways and trolleys, and continue to receive $1 fares for most Regional Rail trips."
How do you get this new card? You need to fill out an application at the offices of state senators and representatives (other sites are listed on SEPTA's website) and show one of the following forms of identification: Pennsylvania driver's license or Non-Driver ID; birth certificate or baptismal certificate; Yellow PACE Card (Pharmaceutical Assistance Contract for the elderly); Statement of Age Verification from the U.S. Social Security Administration; Armed Forces Discharge/Separation Papers; or Resident Alien Card or Passport/Naturalization Papers.
Thank you to State Rep. Eric Roe for the heads up! You can apply for a card at his district office at 400 Old Forge Lane, Suite 407, Kennett Square, weekdays from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
