(The whole subject was supposed to be "Proposal to Change SEPTA Regional Rail Access in Philadelphia - How Might this Affect Amtrak Passengers?" Oh well.)
I picked up The Philadelphia Inquirer for March 14, 2013 in the Club Acela at Philadelphia (PHL). The first page (A1) had a story entitled "Come July 1, revolution in SEPTA fares". One line in it says "(after the end of 2013) Regional Rail travel will be transformed by subway-style gates in Center City stations..."
My first thought was how will it affect Amtrak riders who have been able to travel for free with a same-day Amtrak ticket between the 30th Street, Suburban, and Market East stations? I hope SEPTA and Amtrak have a solution which doesn't involve eliminating the benefit!
