MBTA Installing New CharlieCard-dispensing Fare Vending Machines

  • MBTA SERVICE CUTS

    How the MBTA is using the money from the recent COVID-19 relief package

When the thousands of riders who stopped taking the MBTA during the pandemic return, it’s a likely bet that some of them may need to get a new CharlieCard, lost or misplaced over the last year of remote work.

Beginning later this year, they won’t have to go out of the way to search for one.

As part of the agency’s larger fare transformation project, MBTA officials say they’re planning to introduce upgraded fare vending machines across the rapid transit system capable of dispensing CharlieCards.

Currently, riders can only get the plastic cards from MBTA customer service agents at 17 bus and subway stations, as well as the CharlieCard store in Downtown Crossing and various local retail locations and civic centers.
