The MBTA will host an in-person public meeting on Tuesday, February 20, at the La Colaborativa in Chelsea from 6 PM to 8 PM regarding proposed MBTA fare changes. The MBTA is proposing an expansion of reduced fares eligibility to riders with low income and other fare changes, including replacing change tickets with CharlieCards on buses and the Green and Mattapan lines and a permanent $10 Holiday Weekend Passes. If approved, these changes will go into effect in spring 2024. Riders and the public are encouraged to attend and can learn more at mbta.com/2024FareChanges.
