Charlie Card Questions
Where do I get a Charlie Ticket or a Charlie Card?

- Hard plastic Charlie Cards are very convenient. Simply add value then tap the card on the fare box or subway gate. The card itself is free and is now available at Back Bay, South Station, Park Street and at most Upgraded Fare Vending machines at subway lines and the Silver Line. Add value with cash or credit card at the fare machines at all subway stations, or online.
- Learn how seniors can apply for a new, renewal, or replacement Senior CharlieCard online or by appointment.
