    [ad_1]

    Commuter rail passengers will need to tap or scan their train tickets to enter the track area at South Station as the MBTA begins a major change in fare collection operations.

    The T and its commuter rail operator, Keolis Commuter Services, announced Monday that installation of fare gates at the Boston transportation hub is complete and gates will be phased into operations. The T also released a how-to video and said station staff will be available on concourses to help passengers.

  • Warnings, fines coming soon for MBTA fare evaders

    [ad_1]

    BOSTON — Scofflaws take notice: The MBTA announced Thursday it will launch a renewed effort to collect subway fares with written warnings and fines of up to $150 early next month.

    A wide-ranging transportation bond law in January 2021 spurred the restructuring of fare evasion penalties, and the T has not issued a warning or citation for the offense since at least that year, according to its annual reports. The T put 16 “fare engagement representatives” to work around the subway system starting in October and saw fare collection increases of up to as 35% at stations where the representatives were on-site.
