8. Weekday fares
Zone 3 monthly passes will be accepted on the entire Newburyport/Rockport Line in July and August.
Customers who normally buy a Zone 4-8 monthly pass should purchase Zone 3 passes for the months of July and August to take advantage of this opportunity.
Corporate pass customers - Connect with your company’s pass administrator to change your current Zone 4 to 8 monthly pass order to a Zone 3 monthly pass for July and August. If your company has already ordered its July passes, ask your administrator to apply the price difference to your Zone 3 August pass.
Zone 3 fares for single and 10-ride tickets - Passengers who choose to purchase single-ride tickets during construction will be charged no more than a Zone 3 fare when paying onboard the train or via mTicket.
Important to know: If you purchase Zone 3 10-ride tickets, be sure to use them by the end of construction - August 13. After that date, fares will return to their regular prices. If you still have Zone 3 tickets and want to travel beyond there, you will have to pay the difference.
