![]() ![]() “SEPTA is committed to making this program widely accessible, and we believe it can be a model for other transit agencies across the US.” It will provide a meaningful benefit to a wide range of employees,” said Jeff Stade, CEO and Co-founder at jawnt. “The SEPTA Key Advantage program is the first of its kind for the region, and we’re thrilled to be working with SEPTA on it. Proposed legislation would mandate Philadelphia companies with more than 50 full-time employees to pay for commuting costs, according to City Council. Across the US, commuting costs have increased an average of 35%, with that figure at 59% in the Philadelphia area, according to the study. Companies that want to participate in the larger rollout can apply now.ĭue primarily to rising fuel prices, Philadelphians have seen their commuting costs increase at the second highest rate of any city in the country, according to research reported by Axios. These companies each purchased six-month all-access passes for all of their eligible employees. In the pilot phase, SEPTA worked with Penn Medicine, Drexel, and Wawa. SEPTA’s innovative program, SEPTA Key Advantage, just completed a pilot phase with three employers. SEPTA is working with jawnt to offer better technology solutions as the program expands to additional employers in the region. The program enables employers in Philadelphia to offer all-access SEPTA passes (bus, subway, and regional rail) to all eligible employees. This system is an adaptation of the mobile ticketing system conducted very successfully by NJ Transit for the past few years.Philadelphia – J– Today, jawnt announced a partnership with SEPTA to help launch their new SEPTA Key Advantage initiative. The live time and date counter ensures passengers can not get away with screenshotting or screen recording an old ticket. It will also show the date, the current time (including seconds) and how much time is left until the ticket expires. When a ticket is activated, it’ll show up in an “Active Tickets” tab.Ĭlicking on this tab will display the origin and destination of the ticket. An activated ticket can be used, but they will expire after 2 hours. When the ticket is about to be used, it can be “activated”. Once a ticket is bought, it would be stored in a “wallet” tab. The app would allow customers to buy tickets between two stations. Here’s one way this could be implemented: It will save time for the employees who sell and check tickets in trains as less people will have to purchase tickets in the train It will reduce lines at ticketing kiosks and booths It will allow customers to purchase tickets anywhere at anytime This would improve using septa significantly: The main improvement being mobile ticketing. This app is good but could use some improvements. Why doesn’t the map view show my location? It’s really hard to orient yourself when looking at a bus location on a zoomed in map. So you have to think about the least important route and do that first and then work up to most important, and redo it if you add a route (because the Favorites tiles are so large that you have to scroll down to see them.I really liked the simple and easy single lines that appeared in the old app). The schedule part of the app is clunky and sometimes the searching doesn’t work, so I’m stuck with having saved my favorite routes. This makes me doubt the other schedules and doubt the app. Lots of good ideas here, and fantastic that real time is really real time pretty much everywhere, but so frustrating that the schedule times when you save things to Favorites are wrong!! BSL times are correct when you search the schedule, but wrong in Favorites (Ellsworth Federal to City Hall times are 3 or 4 minutes off).
