## Resource

MBTA’s rolling out big changes starting September 1st — unlimited transfers across buses, subways, and ferries within two hours (pay only for your most expensive ride), slashed express bus fares to just $1.75 (down from $4.25), and a future free ride program for seniors over 75 without a driver’s license — all pilot programs testing ways to make transit simpler, cheaper, and more accessible.
