SEPTA Introduces Gateway Fare Across Divisions
Beginning January 1, 1979 SEPTA unveils a gateway fare allowing transfers between city transit Red Arrow and Frontier divisions without a second base fare. The 30-cent gateway charge makes a Delaware County rider’s trip to Philadelphia 80 cents, down from 90 cents, with 50-cent base fares on all divisions and 20 cents extra per additional zone. Gateways are sold at 69th Street and West Market-Frankford Line booths, with separate procedures for city-bound riders and Red Arrow buses.
