Reduced Fares
Salem State’s ClipperCard Office provides students with 11 percent subsidies for T passes and gives out free Charlie Cards that provide discounts on bus and subway fares, while supplies last. You can save $.30 on all local bus rides and $.50 on the subway with a plastic Charlie Card instead of a paper Charlie ticket.
The MBTA offers unlimited rides on the commuter rail on the weekends for $10. Buy commuter rail tickets on your phone with the MBTA mTicket App.
The MBTA also has a Youth Pass program for those aged 18-25 who live in participating communities and who meet low-income eligibility requirements. This pass discounts fares by roughly 50 percent.
