Ryan - Interesting Key update with the new option to pay for two to five riders with one Key card...
That should help some occasional passengers by not requiring each one to possess a Key card...
As example as long as there are enough Travel Wallet funds available to pay the required fares
there should not be a problem on that end...The $10 example for five transit rides is a good one...
A 60 second tap limit may be a potential problem with tapping in/out 3 to 5 riders depending on
how the reader being used is accepting the taps before boarding...An even seconds-long delay can
add up during multiple taps - Could allowing 90 seconds with a third tap give additional flexibility?
With the upcoming Philadelphia Flower Show - Saturday March 2 to Sunday March 10 - the timing on
this new Key fare pay option is good for Regional Rail patrons...For those unaware Flower Show week
can be one of the busiest times of any given year in terms of total Regional Rail ridership...MACTRAXX
