Children under what age ride free of charge with a fare-paying adult?

Children under the age of 12 riding free of charge with a fare-paying adult aligns with SEPTA's policies aimed at making public transportation more accessible for families. When a fare-paying adult travels, allowing children under 12 to ride free encourages family usage of public transit services, promoting community engagement and reducing the overall cost burden for families.

This policy not only benefits families by providing a cost-effective means of transportation, but it also supports SEPTA's goal of increasing ridership. By allowing younger children to travel without a dedicated fare, it makes trips to places like parks, museums, and other family-friendly destinations more feasible. Additionally, this age limit helps in maintaining a balance between providing service accessibility and managing operational costs.
