Are there discounts for seniors/students/children?

Asked a year ago
Yes, the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) offers discounts for seniors, students, and children. Seniors aged 65 or older are eligible for reduced fares with a Senior CharlieCard, which allows them to pay discounted rates on MBTA services. Students aged 12 to 25 can apply for a Student CharlieCard, which provides reduced fares on subway, bus, and commuter rail services during school days. Children aged 11 and under ride for free when accompanied by a paying adult. Additionally, reduced fares are available for eligible special needs passengers. These discounts aim to make public transportation more affordable and accessible for different age groups, ensuring a convenient and cost-effective commuting experience for all.
