Any SEPTA OGs want to explain how Regional Rail worked before key cards?
How did they charge correct fairs?

If you were in center city you bought a round trip paper ticket from an office in the station before you got on the train. If you forgot to buy it, you could buy a fare from the conductor, who would magically know how much you had to pay.

That makes sense. The conductors are carry over from when they had a lot more to do.
