SEPTA said it is refunding Key card users who were charged double for trips on the rail system. The transit agency said it was caused by a "bug" in the software.
Riders may had noticed the duplicate fare charges in their Key card accounts, that, for some, resulted in a negative balance.
SEPTA said the issue with the software that caused some fare validators to go "off-line" had been fixed Wednesday.
Refunds had been issued to about half of the affected customers, SEPTA said, as they work to correct the remaining accounts by the end of the week.
