MBTA ticket and payment guide
The MBTA publishes separate fare products for subway, bus, commuter rail and ferry travel. Commuter rail and ferry products vary by zone. The table below lists products from the official feed; a product listing does not determine which ticket applies to your journey. Check the agency’s fare and transfer rules before buying.
