Thanks a lot! This is only a quick trip (no pun intended) for a theater show Saturday night, with a small bit of walking around Sunday morning so I was figuring the QuickTrip/paying cash would be the best option. And your explanation matched what I was reading.

I guess I still don’t quite understand how the exit Quick Trip system is regulated. Couldn’t people just lie about what zone they started in and pay the lower fare?

And I do want to come back at some point in the future. Other than grade school field trips to the Liberty Bell and Franklin Institute, (and driving through on the way to the shore) I’ve never gotten to explore Philly.

Wow. I made it so easy for you to respond to both of the things i said, and you still couldn't respond to either one.

Ill give you another chance. They're marked A and B. Go ahead, respond

edit: guess you arent going to after all, goodnight fella. You should do things in your free time that make you happy instead of angry

A. You're going to incorrectly assume something, then pretend you knew the answer while also saying you don't believe the answer? "I just lied about what i thought you'd say so you'd say what i REALLY thought you'd say" -you Man, if someone got lost in your head they'd never find their way out of that corn maze

B. Are you going to point out where i "danced around it"? Or are you just going to...dance around that fact?

(You can see i separated my two statements so that you cant "accidentally" not respond to the part you don't like)

OH WHAT A SURPRISE

"I'm not a Republican, I'm a Libertarian"

I'm not actually surprised I knew this was the answer. I didn't want to put you on blast because then you wouldn't have stated it.

You cannot "agree with Democrats on Social Matters" if you agree with Libertarians on Financial Matters. If you understood politics, you'd understand why.

So, you’re correct that you can buy a ticket into Center City AFTER getting on the train in Paoli and getting off the train in Center City. According to the Regional Rail fare section on SEPTA’s website, your options are as follows:

> SEPTA accepts cash for travel on any Regional Rail line. Exact fare is not required. The conductor can make change, but bills larger than $20 are not accepted. The cost of the trip is higher when paying cash on board.

> Customers may purchase a Quick Trip ticket from a Center City Regional Rail station. The ticket is good for a single one-way ride from Center City to any outlying station and must be used on the date of purchase.

> Customers arriving in Center City without having provided a fare onboard must purchase an Exit Quick Trip at an Exit Fare Kiosk and must be used within two hours of purchase.

If your visit to Philadelphia is a one-time thing, I recommend the Exit Quick Trip option for entering the city on Saturday and the regular Quick Trip for leaving the city on Sunday. If you plan on returning here in the future, or even if you plan on moving about town, I’d recommend that you invest in a SEPTA Key card. It’s cheaper than paying cash on the train, and you can just put money on the card and use it for whatever mode of transportation you need to use. It is definitely a pain to not be able to buy the Key card at a Regional Rail stop, but the sales kiosk at the King of Prussia transfer center by the mall isn’t too far from Paoli.

I hope you enjoy your visit here.

Yeah, you could buy an Exit Quick Trip once you reach Center City.

Or just pay the conductor cash ...

... which in your case (Paoli being in Zone 4) it'll be ...

Fare Pricing

>Paid on Train, Weekends/Evenings: $7

Says who? You? Republicans are liars, and by your own criteria, you are a Republican since you said you aren't a Republican. So i don't believe you when you say you haven't lied. Since you're a Republican, and Republicans lie.

See how silly your own words sound?

Lol okay buddy, if youre going to say "nuh uh ur a liar" to everyone who disagrees with you, why bother arguing about anything hahahaha. Go have a cup of tea and get over yourself. Christ.

(By the way, by your own logic...you're a republican ;)

Apologies, this is not an answer to your question.

Just posting to say yea that sub is so unhelpful. they filter out anyone who actually has a question that the RESIDENTS THERE should be able to help with--just so they can fill the sub with superbowl posts. Like, why would you not want to help more members or soon to be members of your community?

I am moving to Philly late this year and SEPTA is confusing to me as well so I hope you get some good answers here :)

Nothing is more Republican than refusing to state you're Republican. Do you know how many ads I've seen where Republican candidates won't define themselves as such? Or their political signs, which are often blue.

But Democrats? They don't have this problem.

But sure, you're "not a Republican". Doesn't change anything.

Thank you for assuming im a republican and proving my initial statement true. Im not a republican, im just also not a hypocrite.

Enjoy convincing yourself you were right for the next 10 minutes before moving onto another reddit post to argue on. Have a good day and remove the crust from your eyelids so you can open them

Lol, refute what you said? You've said nothing. You aren't making some giant debate. You're going "all politicians are bad" on a post about a bad Republican politician. Everyone knows what you're doing. And just like your idols, you're lying right here.
