Reply to comment by [deleted] in SEPTA working out kinks in mobile phone ticketing feature by bengalese

I think you're being a bit pessimistic. The app does appear to handle transfers, which is something that I don't think would work with a straight up "tap to pay", as much as I wish I could just do that.

Google/Apple pay doesn't need to handle transfers. It just needs to tell the reader what SEPTA key account is being scanned.

Yes, I understand that, if you have a septa key in the wallet. But being able to pay without an account/app is what we were talking about. The system could do both.

It would. London has tap to pay and it’s seamless. Just tap every time you enter/exit and they calculate your trips and bill you at the end of the day. It’s great.
