SEPTA is proud to be the first commuter rail system in the United States to deploy contactless payment! Effective April 4, 2025, SEPTA now accepts contactless payment options on Regional Rail.
Customers are able to easily tap on and tap off using any credit/debit card or mobile wallets (Apple Pay, Google Pay or Samsung Pay) at Regional Rail faregates and platform validators. Contactless payment has been available on SEPTA Bus and Metro services since September 2023.
Any validator with credit card icons displayed on the screen is ready to accept contactless payments. Before tapping, riders are encouraged to separate their credit/debit cards, Key card and mobile device to avoid the incorrect card or account getting charged.
