To get one, go to the main office and ask to sign up for the reduced fare student T pass. It should be available to pickup after a few days.

Any student can use the reduced fare T passes by loading it like a normal card, but with a 50% off discount. The card that a student will receive is a S-Card. With it, you can do the following:
- Year-round, use your card to get discounted fares and passes
- Load your card with a $30.00 monthly or $10 7-Day pass for unlimited travel on the bus and subway
- Show your card to get 50% off the standard one-way fare or monthly pass for Commuter Rail and ferry, printed on a CharlieTicket


You can load cash value to your S-Card at:
