Try and start your trip for a suburban regional rail system without having previously been given a Key.

Good luck.

...You can pay with cards or cash on the train. No luck needed.

Except you want the freedom pass since you will be making multiple trips. Now what?

Then your lack of preparation makes you pay full fare and reminds you to get a key when you arrive in CC. Depending on how many trips it might not even matter.

Also just FYI freedom pass no longer exists. It's now called "One Day Anywhere FleX Pass" under the "Independence Pass" umbrella, at least on the app.

How do you prepare? Its literally not available for sale at the stations.

You know what a freedom pass is but you haven't been in center city since june 2016?

My dude I visited a friend in the burbs just this summer and since they didnt already have Keys, getting them into the city was a problem. You cannot buy a key at the station. A key is required to have the pass.
