SEPTA Key is a reloadable, contactless chip card that offers a host of options for seamless travel on all SEPTA modes and the self-serve flexibility of loading/reloading SEPTA fares to match your travel needs. You can load money onto the Travel Wallet (to pay as you go) or you can load a daily/three day/weekly/monthly pass. You can get a SEPTA Key card at kiosks at the Airport or any Center City train station. Kiosks accept cash, credit, debit, tokens, Apple Pay, Google Pay, & Samsung Pay. Best part – you can reload your SEPTA Key online at SEPTAKey.org. You can also purchase a Quick Trip (single-ride ticket) at the kiosks.

If you don’t have time to stop by a kiosk – cash/credit cards are accepted on board. However, it will cost you more - $8 instead of $6.75.
