The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) in the US is to expand its fare payments system to enable passengers to pay for their journeys with a contactless credit card, mobile wallet or a digital version of their CharlieCard transit card.

“If approved by the full [MBTA] board, changes would be implemented on bus and subway first, followed by changes to [the] commuter rail service about a year later,” the MBTA told a public meeting, according to a Beacon Hill Times report.

The move comes as part of the MBTA’s fare transformation project that is due to be completed by 2024.
