MCTA has not raised fares since July, 2014, over 10 years ago, and everthing has become more expensive. Fares for adults, college students, and persons with disabilities will go up $0.25 to $0.50. Seniors over 65 will still be free. Kindergarten through 12th grade students ride free with current valid school ID.
Riders can now use their own bank-issued credit or debit card (or Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay) or Cash App to board and pay fares. By paying with a bank card, passengers will not be charged more than a daily, 7-day, or 30-day cap.
MoGo Card readers will be removed after February 1, 2025.
