The T says its new contactless pay system will be ready in August to be used on buses, the Green Line, the Mattapan Line trolleys and at subway fare gates.
Riders will be able to buy their fare using a tap-to-pay credit or debit card or a phone or smartwatch with a mobile wallet. Instead of reloading a Charlie Card, riders can tap their card or device on the reader wherever they see a contactless symbol.
