Starting December 15, South Station’s Commuter Rail platforms will get new fare gates—meaning you’ll need to tap your CharlieTicket or scan your MTicket QR code to get in or out. CharlieCards won’t work at these gates until 2026, so regulars will need to adjust. Some riders and staff are already wondering how this will play out, especially with the new need for exit tickets. The MBTA says it’s all about making rides safer and more reliable, but what do you think—will this make your commute smoother or just add another hurdle? #Transportation #MBTA #SouthStation
