I was reading comments on a post to another place and some readers brought up good points.
1. What's going to happen when the train changes tracks at 30th?
2. What will happen if SEPTA has an ungodly delay? Will the timer automatically charge a zone 4 to the key?
3. What happens when someone can't get though the turnstile because their pass malfunctioned? Will there be back ups on the stairs?
4. Will they still use the Legacy Trailpasses which have a 1 second delay and a failure rate to register on the EL or will the roll out go to the key first?
5. If this system is so good as jamesinclair mentioned, why is Boston moving toward PoP?
6. Why is passenger comfort taking a backseat to fare evasion? SEPTA is aiming for a C or D! WHY!? How does this encourage ridership?
7. What is being done to reduce confusion about the mesh of systems, multiple times I've had to explain the zone system and the key. There are no real labels for the zone system, why are they not taped to the key unit's at outlying stations? I've also seen people tap their credit cards in confusion on the machines at stations because they are on and active even though they aren't in use
8. Where are the TVM's at any outlying station besides the big four? They have rolled out the keycard things at all stations I think, plus the new parking modules.
9. What will become of the station attendants? I assume reassignment but that might create union problem's.
10. Will conductors be given a unit to validate the system or is this going to be reliant on the turnstiles at the end?
