MBTA fare vending machines
On the mTicket app
No matter how you purchase your monthly pass, you can use your Jawnt Pass debit card to pay!
Important differences to know
⚠️ If you buy your Commuter Rail monthly pass at a fare vending machine, your pass includes a LinkPass for unlimited subway and bus rides during the same month.
Passes purchased via the mTicket app do not include subway or bus travel and are valid only for Commuter Rail.
When should I buy my monthly pass?
The MBTA sells calendar-based monthly passes. Sales for each new month begin on the 15th of the prior month.
For example:
A pass purchased on September 14 or earlier is valid only until September 30
A pass purchased on September 15 or later is valid from October 1 to October 31
Your Jawnt Pass will be funded by the 22nd of each month so you can purchase your monthly transit pass in advance.
If you plan to enroll in auto-pay for your monthly pass, be sure to set up your auto-pay by the 22nd before 5pm ET so you receive your pass in time.
