If an adult passenger presents a Zone 1 Fare Kiosk QT at Spring Mill for a peak inbound train, what should you tell them?

A Zone 1 Fare Kiosk QT (Quick Ticket) is specifically intended for travel within a designated zone during peak hours. When an adult passenger presents this ticket for a peak inbound train at Spring Mill, the ticket is limited in its usage to outbound trips only from that station to a destination in Zone 1. Therefore, it cannot be utilized for travel in the opposite direction, especially since it is being presented for an inbound train.

In the context of this scenario, clarity is essential: the fare is structured according to the direction and peak/off-peak times, and the Zone 1 Fare Kiosk QT is meant solely for outbound travel from the originating station. This reinforces the regulatory boundaries set by SEPTA regarding fare usage, specifically during peak hours, ensuring that both the operator and the passenger understand the limitations of the ticket being presented.
