talk about burying the lede

[redbird]

From the MBTA's weekly service advisory email:

Beginning Monday, December 12 all riders at the following stations will need to validate CharlieCards or tappable CharlieTickets at a fare vending machine prior to boarding or use the farebox at the front of the train:


Ball Square Station
College Avenue Station
East Somerville Station
Gilman Square Station
Magoun Square Station

This isn't even burying the lede; the actual news is that htey're finally going to open these stations on Monday morning. And by the way, you'll need to validate your card or ticket.

And no doubt adding confusion to out of town visitors. The last time I used the MBTA, which was in 2007, I had to buy a CharlieCard without any indication available on how much a ride cost, and thus having to guess randomly how much money to put on the card.
