If you don’t like surprises, it’s a good thing you’re reading this.

SEPTA has announced that for the 2011 fiscal year, the mass transit company “has budgeted for a 9.5 percent increase in passenger revenue,” according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.

While SEPTA spokeswoman Jerri Williams skirted the prices, estimates price a token at $1.60 (currently $1.45) and TransPasses to increase from $20.75 to approximately $22.75.

Save your pennies, folks. You never know where 15 cents will get you in a year or so.
