How to Add Money Onto a Student CharlieCard

The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) offers commuters in the state of Massachusetts an alternative method of travel with buses and subways. The CharlieCard is used by the MBTA as the primary method of payment, much like swiping a credit card. Each time you swipe at a MBTA booth, the machine automatically deducts from the balance you have stored on the card. If you are a student, you can apply for a discount student CharlieCard and add money whenever your balance gets low.
