Not seeing anything illegal here.
Unless you can equate this to ticket-scalping?

The efficiency of government.
“Others, though, argued SEPTA’s fare structure causes the problem. When tokens were still available, a person with $4 in cash could buy two of the fare coins, the cost of a trip there and back again. Without tokens, the person with $4 doesn’t have enough to buy a Key card, which initially costs $5.95, and can no longer buy two rides with that cash.”

The traveler gets a 50¢ discount, the scammer potentially gets $86.50 richer per card, and SEPTA loses out on fares. SEPTA set up the card program, so SEPTA is not losing out on fares. It is receiving exactly what they asked for.
Unless SEPTA was counting on the cards ending up with unused trips at the end of the month, which means they are trying to scam the riders by charging for trips not taken.
The Laffer Curve is in play here with regards to per-ride fares.

The person then accepts $2 cash to swipe passengers through the turnstiles. The traveler gets a 50¢ discount, the scammer potentially gets $86.50 richer per card...if only these shysters would put that kind of industry and creativeness into a real job, they could make big money - but it wouldn't be as much fun - they wouldn't be putting it over on the man......
