Guide to Free Transfers on SEPTA Bus & Metro:
Riders can transfer between SEPTA Bus and Metro services at stations, stops, and transit centers throughout the region. However, not all transfers are included in the cost of your fare. Here’s how you get the most from your fare by taking advantage of free transfers:
2-Hour Free Transfer Window
Riders using a SEPTA Key card or Contactless payment with their credit or debit card can make up to two transfers for free, while KeyTix users can make one transfer for free.These transfers must be made within 2 hours of their first tap, and do not apply to round trips. You must use the same card for all segments of your trip to receive free transfers.
Please note that riders paying with cash or Quick Trip cannot take advantage of the 2-hour free transfer window.
Free Interchanges
All riders transferring between SEPTA Metro services can take advantage of free interchanges at the following stations:
- 15th St/City Hall (between the
, 
, and 
) - 13th St (between the and )
- Drexel Station at 30th St (between the and )
A free interchange means that riders don’t have to go through a faregate while making their transfer. Instead, they can simply walk from one platform to the other. This benefit is available to all riders, regardless of how they paid their fare.
