This data capacity will make some of the NPT perks possible. For instance, if a passenger loses the card with his or her monthly pass stored on it, that passenger can contact SEPTA, have the lost card deactivated and the monthly pass switched to a new card. Or, if a passenger pays with his or her phone, SEPTA will take note of the passenger's travel patterns. If a delay arises on a line the passenger frequents, SEPTA will send an alert directly to the passenger's phone.
