Thanks, all.
My Key card expired late last year, due to the short 3-year expiration date.
Inexplicably, there is no way to order a replacement card online, so I had to trek to my local train station to buy a new Key card at the ticket office—which is only open for a short time each morning, and never on weekends.
When I asked at the ticket window, the staff member told me that there's no way for my relative to travel on SEPTA without paying the cash fare, short of buying a Key card—which doesn't make sense to do, since they're from out of town.
I have ample funds on my Key card—and no way to use them to purchase a fare for a second person. If there were fare kiosks at outlying stations, this wouldn't be a problem, but of course there are no kiosks.
It's sad that after many years and many taxpayer dollars, this is the best that SEPTA can come up with.
