How to Pay for Your Fare
Riders will need to validate their fare at all GLX stations. Riders should tap their CharlieCards or tappable CharlieTickets at the fare vending machines prior to boarding, rather than at the onboard fareboxes as they may be used to.
These upgraded fare vending machines are at the following stations:
Please note that old, insertable CharlieTickets can only be validated at onboard fare boxes.
- Tap your CharlieCard or tappable CharlieTicket on the target
- Select “validation” from the on-screen menu
- Tap your card or ticket again when prompted. The screen will then display the amount deducted from your balance.
- Keep your receipt in case MBTA staff need to see it
