Union Tpke Posted December 15, 2014 Share #1 Posted December 15, 2014 PHILADELPHIA — Dec 8, 2014, 10:59 AM ET By KATHY MATHESON Associated Press Associated Press A public transit system that still uses metal tokens and paper transfers ? yes, in the 21st century ? appears finally to be moving into the era of debit cards and pay-by-cellphone technology. Philadelphia riders can now see evidence of SEPTA Key, the long-awaited smart card system for the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority.
