MBTA resolves problems with CharlieCards
BOSTON - The MBTA said all issues have been resolved after a problem with fare vending machines at several stations on Saturday.
The T tweeted earlier that riders were unable to add value to their cards at fare vending machines in stations because of a "technical issue." The agency tweeted about an hour later that the problem was only happening at "select Orange Line stations."
On Saturday evening, the T said all fare vending machines are now working properly.
Earlier in the day, smoke coming from Central Station in Cambridge caused delays and resulted in shuttle service on the Red Line between Harvard Square and Park Street. The T has since fixed the defective third rail wiring that caused the problem.
