| 302 | Sarah Levetter | I'd really, really prefer keeping the transfers. Having to carry around 6 tokens a day for myself and my children is a bit extreme. |
| 303 | Margaret Mixon | WHY CAN'T SENIOR RIDE ALL DAY FOR FREE. |
| 304 | Sheleta Banks | I am a single mother of a young child. I can barely afford a transpass to get to work each week. When I travel with my son we generally take two to three buses to get to our destination. Round trip would cost me any where from 8-12 dollars. If I could spend that kind of money for transoportation I wouldn't need to ride septa. Eliminating passes is more than a inconvience for me and the hundreds of other SEPTA customers like me, it is a hardship. |
| 305 | Jamie Graham | The elimination of transfers is a direct attack on the poor, urban riders who are the bulk of SEPTA's riders. This also shows the evil of the ridiculously little representation that Philadelphia, with 70% of the ridership, gets on the SEPTA board. |

| 307 | Keith | Dear SEPTA,
Please move into the 21st century, by implementing electronic stored value cards, enabling transfers.

| 310 | Patricia Regan | I ride a bus and the El everyday to work and currently use a token and 60 cents each way. By eliminating the transfer and reducing riders to paying two full fares, I will now be paying an extra $30 a month in order to purchase a weekly transpass. |
| 311 | Barry G. Smith | SEPTA (and it's predecessors since Tom Mitten's death in 1929) has dropped the ball again! In a city
that has many intersectiong rail and bus routes, the use of transfers is mandatory. It's obvious that the current "INEPTA management" are all well to do suburbanite bean counters and politicians who NEVER use transit and have NO concept of what using and riding transit is!
We need to PURGE most of the existing top "management" of SEPTA and bring in REAL transit people who know what transit is all about!!
Dave Gunn and Tom Mitten, WHERE ARE YOU?! |
| 312 | Anonymous | I need transfers to go 2 college in the fall, to work, and back home. Mostly the whole Philadelphia Tri-State area region needs transfers. So they need to keep all transfers in with SEPTA. |
| 313 | Clare Maher | I have used the Chicago transit with easy transfer system, and it works perfectly! |

| 317 | Ada Cuevas | I only use a transfer in the morning when I go to work, and that only when the time changes and it's dark at 6am when I leave. When I come home and get off the el I walk the l0 blocks . Not necessary for me to get transpass. |

| 319 | Harriet McMillan | Not fair to working class whose salaries are not commensurate with the rising cost of living. Why is Philadelphia the highest priced transportation system in the country? Does someone have their hand in the till or is it poor management or both? |
| 320 | Mike Hays | You are hurting the riders who only use your services once and awhile, also people who live pay check to pay check. |
| 321 | Carla Tomes | |
| 322 | Eunice Y Marshall | the transfers should be keep because not every one have money to pay each time there transfer from one bus to another & it is very unfare to the poor & middle class people. thanks. |
| 323 | Hervey Hendrickson | This is not fair to the poor. |

| 325 | george wilson | i think you should either get the people who work for you to either pay some money to their medical or sell some of the other trains like the r5 and some others.george |

| 328 | Craig | Septa is turning into a cash union monopoly, there are ways to save money inside this company then bleeding the hands that feed it. |

| 330 | Anonymous | I think it is a total DISGRACE that SEPTA is asking the consumers to purchase at full price, the transfers. Personally, I think transfers should be no more than 50 cents! |
| 331 | Anonymous | This decision is a disgrace. I buy monthly transpasses, which I can afford. But there are poor people, children and college students out there who are barely getting by who can't put up a chunk of money like that just for the priveledge of SEPTA! |
| 332 | Alan Silverblatt | |
| 333 | M. White | I think a Smart Card system should be in place before eliminating transfers. Some larger cities do not charge for transfers. Septa needs to put the needs of their ridership ahead of greed. |
| 334 | Diane Arrington | I think this is unfair for the elderly and the poor. Please reconsider this imposition |
| 335 | Byanka Meacham | The cities poor population can not afford to lose paper transfers. It would cripple them financially. |

| 339 | Kelly M Jankauskas | |
| 340 | Mary F Jankauskas | NYC and Washington DC do not charge for transfers. |

| 342 | M Gale | Eliminating transfers will put a financial burden on people who work for a living, Many people make a minimum wage and often take more than 3 buses to get to their job. They manage families on this income, why can't Septa learn how to manage it's system using the high rates they already charge. |

| 345 | Grant Alger | With the availability of new dedicated funding for SEPTA, SEPTA has a great opportunity to move forward and develop innovative ways to improve service to the Philadelphia region. Eliminating transfers, by contrast, is a terrible and disheartening step backward that only harms those who daily depend on SEPTA. |

| 347 | David Houck | I have no car and depend on SEPTA. |
| 348 | Barry G. Smith | Eliminating transfers in a city like Philadelphia with its grid street pattern for the most part and many intersecting routes is without a doubt to me is one of the most harebrained schemes I have ever heard!
Because of the grid street pattern the majority of surface routes run north-south or east-west. In most cases changing to a perpendicular direction involves a transfer and this will cause a de-facto fare increase which will only drive more transit riders away!
SEPTA states that one thing is "going to an electronic fare card system is a justification for eliminating transfers". But BEFORE such a system is in place? Here, in the Washington, DC area, the Metro subway system has had magnetic fare cards since it started 30 years ago. Beginning in 2000, Metro phased in an electronic "Smartrip" card that
can be scanned at all subway faregates and bus fareboxes and we still use paper transfers and tokens as an option on the surface lines! |
