BOSTON (WHDH) - BOSTON (AP) — Many commuters are paying more to take public transportation in the Boston area, but a few are paying less.
The MBTA’s new fare changes take effect Friday.
For Charlie Card users, single-ride local bus fares are going up 10 cents to $1.70, while single-ride subway fares will increase by 15 cents to $2.25.
