SEPTA confirmed LevittownNow.com that on-site ticket sales at the Langhorne Regional Rail Station will be discontinued.
In-person ticket sales at the station end on Friday, September 20.
According to SEPTA spokesman John Golden, the change affects 10 stations where SEPTA is discontinuing in-person service this fall.
Thanks to various alternatives such as SEPTA Key cards and onboard payments, there has been a significant decline in on-site ticket purchases, Golden said.
Signage and messages at affected stations will be updated. Information about the changes will be available on the SEPTA website.
At Langhorne Station, the waiting room remains open from 5 a.m. to 1 p.m. on weekdays and provides access to seating, restrooms and other amenities.
Other stations that will discontinue in-person ticket sales include Elkins Park, Fort Washington, Hatboro, Lansdowne, Manayunk, Queen Lane, Secane, Swarthmore and Wyndmoor.
SEPTA officials have not provided information on how many employees or contractors will be affected by the suspension of live agent sales at stations.
The changes come as SEPTA adds additional trains and moves metered parking back to car lots.
Earlier this year, SEPTA stopped in-person ticket sales at several regional rail stations, but not in Bucks County.
The Langhorne station was built for $1.4 million and opened in 2011. It replaced a Reading Railroad Company station that had been in existence since 1881.
The station is located in a part of Middletown Township that is shielded by the Penndel and Langhorne Manor districts.
