The base SEPTA Rapid Transit fare is $2.00. Additional suburban zones are 50 cents per zone. Transfers between any bus, train, or trolley routes not physically connected (such as at City Hall where the Market-Frankford Subway Elevated and the Broad Street Subway intersect) are 60 cents.
You can buy tokens in bulk amounts of 2, 5, or 10 and ride for just $1.30, which is 35% off the base fare.

SEPTA Regional Rail fares are based on zones, much like other commuter rail operators. When a ticket office is open or a ticket vending machine is available at the station, tickets must be purchased before riding, and they are collected by a crew member. A $2 surcharge is added to the cost of the ticket purchased from the train crew if a ticket office was open before the train's scheduled departure time, or if a ticket vending machine is present. SEPTA tickets are not available by mail or internet.
Tickets do not have station names printed on them; only the zones of travel. A Zone 2 ticket, for example, is good on any SEPTA line in either direction, between the Center City stations and any Zone 2 station.
If you need to travel between any of the three Center City stations (30th Street, Suburban, and Market East), you will need to purchase a special round trip ticket for $3.50. However, if you have arrived in Philadelphia on any AMTRAK train at 30th Street Station, you can show your AMTRAK ticket stub for a complimentary fare to Suburban or Market East Stations. If you are leaving Philadelphia on AMTRAK, your full AMTRAK ticket will suffice as your SEPTA fare from Market East or Suburban Stations to 30th Street Station. You will need to have pre-purchased your return ticket home in order to use it for this purpose.

* Child fare is for children ages 5-11 on weekends.
** Senior fare is for those over 65 with a Medicare card or Senior Citizen Transit Identification Card. *** This discounted fare is a through fare for a passenger traveling between two suburban points, passing through Center City. If paid separately, the cost would be $3 for each segment of this trip, or a total of $6. Instead, pay the $3.75 through fare for Overbrook to the conductor upon boarding at Chestnut Hill East.
