Where can I go<\/b>?<\/b><\/p>\n Tip: when there\u2019s a Red Sox game, trains can be crowded. Leave early.<\/b><\/p>\n There is sometimes busing on the parts of the Green Line during track repairs. You can check the MBTA website <\/a>for service alerts.<\/b><\/p>\n Where are the closest stations?<\/strong><\/p>\n Eliot and Newton Highlands are the closest to Needham. The Green Line D Information Page<\/a> lists the stations. Scroll down and click on the station for information on location, number of parking spaces, accessibility, bus connections, etc.<\/p>\n What are the fares? See the MBTA Fares Overview<\/a> for price and transfer information, including one-way tickets and different kinds of passes. Note that reduced fares<\/a>\u00a0are available for eligible customers. Children age 11 and under ride for free.<\/p>\n How do I pay?<\/b><\/p>\n Easy! As of August 1, 2024, the MBTA is offering an option for contactless Tap to Ride payment<\/a><\/strong> on bus, Green Line<\/a> and Mattapan trolleys, and all gated subway stations. This means that there will be new Tap to Ride screens that enable you to pay by simply tapping your contactless debit\/credit card, phone, or watch with a mobile wallet.<\/p>\n CharlieCards<\/strong> or CharlieTickets<\/strong><\/a> may still be used, (and must<\/strong> be used for weekly or monthly passes) but be sure to tap them on the old readers that you’ve always used, not on the new Tap to Ride screens. Cash on board is accepted on buses and street-level trolleys, however it will hold up the line. If using cash, try to use exact change.<\/p>\n What if you’re enrolled in a reduced fare program?<\/strong> You can still use your existing Reduced Fare CharlieCard (tapped on the old reader) but you can also choose to link your benefits to your contactless credit\/debit card, phone, or watch.
