Can I transfer between different modes of transportation using my fare card?

Asked 6 months ago
Yes, you can transfer between different modes of transportation using your fare card. The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) offers a seamless transfer system that allows passengers to switch between subway, bus, commuter rail, and ferry services using a single fare card known as CharlieCard or CharlieTicket. This means that you only need to pay once for your journey, regardless of the number of modes you use or transfers you make. Simply tap your fare card upon boarding each vehicle or entering a subway station, and the appropriate fare for your journey will be deducted automatically. This convenient transfer system enables efficient and cost-effective travel throughout the MBTA network, ensuring a smooth experience for commuters and visitors alike.
