It's not a large number, but because the Key counts each boarding as a "tap" anyone who uses SEPTA as their primary means of travel and whose trips require multiple connections can in fact hit that amount. Not likely, but not impossible either. When the caps were first announced they were considerably lower, to the point where people with two transfers per day and limited weekend use would exceed their limits. The 240 cap was a wide compromise that serves the majority of riders while preventing the most egregious cases of pass-sharing.
The "tap cap" is pretty far down on my list of concerns, though. I'm far more PO'ed about the delays, waste, and cost overruns incurred during the Key's development plus the well-documented effects it's having on riders who aren't middle class 9-to-5 commuters.
Requiem for it's/its, your/you're, than/then, less/fewer. They were once such nice words with such different meanings...
