MBTA riders can expect to see some fare changes in July. The T's board approved a proposal that the agency hopes will improve equity and increase ridership.
Riders who qualify for the reduced fare program, including many students and seniors, will also have more options. The program will now offer options such as seven-day passes, a monthly pass for commuter rail, ferry, and express bus service, and expanded access to the Charlestown Ferry.If ridership numbers are high, MBTA official Lynsey Heffernan estimated the changes could cost the T somewhere in the range of $1.6 million-$2 million and benefit up to 172,000 riders.
