Get on Board
Skip the stress of traffic and save time. Take the T for a smoother commute, a shopping trip, or a night out on the town.
Building a Better T
As part of our $9.6 billion, 5-year capital investment plan, we're renovating stations, modernizing fare collection systems, upgrading services for our buses, subways, and ferries, and improving the accessibility of the entire system.
Better Bus Project
We’re improving our bus system to deliver better service in the Greater Boston area. Buses carry 40% of our ridership, with nearly 300,000 passenger trips every weekday. Our improvement plans include increased service, dedicated bus lanes, and modernized facilities.
New Ways to Pay
The MBTA is making paying for transit easier and more convenient. Did you know you can now simply Tap to Ride? Riders can pay for MBTA subway and bus travel using a contactless credit/debit card, phone, or watch.
Income-Eligible Reduced Fare Program
We've expanded access to reduced fares for income-eligible riders. Eligible riders between 18 and 64 who participate in specific state benefit programs can get half-off regular fares on subway, bus, Commuter Rail, ferry, and The RIDE. Applying online is fast and easy.
More Frequent Train Service
We’re running more service throughout the day, so you can get where you need to go—no matter what your schedule looks like.
