The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority is always looking
for ways to improve their services to the public. By doing so they
not only improve their efficiency as a business but also the
quality of product that they hope all visitors and locals alike
will experience when getting around The Greater Boston Area.
Now the MBTA has taken it one step further. By implementing the
new mTicket for the Commuter Rail and the Ferry, the company has
made leaps and bounds to making travel that much easier for the
consumer. With smartphones abundant, this new application allows
individuals to both buy and then display a ticket all from their
cellular device.
From monthly passes, to single ride, to round trip or even
10-ride passes, it can all be purchased in a matter of seconds. The
CharlieCard is included and will allow passengers to just tap and
go for any fare rate. What it all summates to are these simple
facts:
- Never wait in line again
- Say goodbye to your magnetic strip pass
- Purchase a ticket in seconds
- Never lose your ticket again
