Fare capping

Ride as much as you like. Your Charlie Points stop counting once you reach the price of a day pass, so you never pay more than a day pass in a day: 75 Charlie Points.

How to pay

Tap any card, phone or pod at the gate. Your Charlie Points come out of the same account whichever you tap, and a pod ride to the station counts toward your transfer.
