By "there" I mean "interoperable, rechargeable fare cards" and by "eventually" I mean "never."
The Metro has a great piece about SEPTA's "eventual" move away from tokens and transfers while Philly Will Do has his own unique take on the situation.
I don't have much to add except that when SEPTA finally ditches the tokens and provides a card (a la the Metrocard) that I can charge up with cash or credit and can be used on the entire system (El, Subway, trolleys, buses, regional rail - with some sort of handheld card reader for all of the conductors - and that funky train that goes from 69th Street to Norristown), then maybe I'll start riding again. Depending on what these cards are capable of, they could even make it so that the lower transfer rate (or, gasp, no fare) is deducted if you get off a bus or trolley and board the El or Subway within a certain period of time.
I'm not asking for much. Just all that and build a train that takes me to the King of Prussia Mall. Ok, ok and get rid of all the rats.
