Excellence Begins with Execution
Charlie Card – MBTA (Boston, MA)
Replacing the most iconic card-based fare collection systems in the North America with the latest in account-based fare collection technology requires extraordinary attention to detail. MBTA is forging ahead with a new open- and closed-loop payment system that will shift full operations to their selected AFC vendor, while maintaining tight fiscal controls over the revenue. The system will accept MIFARE-based cards, contactless EMV, mobile wallets and a robust, fully auditable integrated financial management, clearing and settlement system, giving the oldest subway system in the United States the latest in features and functionality.
