Description

Been using the MBTA mTicket app for a couple months now. It’s basically a mobile app that lets you buy train and ferry tickets right on your phone. Pretty solid if you’re a commuter in the Boston area.

Here’s what you do: You can select your trip and ticket type, enter your payment info, and boom – your phone is your ticket. There’s also a schedule and service update feature, which is pretty handy. And you can easily transfer your tickets if you get a new phone, which is a nice touch.

Look, if you rely on the MBTA for your commute, you’ll probably find this app useful. It’s not perfect – the UI can be a bit clunky at times – but overall it does the job. Worth checking out if you wanna ditch the paper tickets.

Editor Opinion

So here's my take on the MBTA mTicket app. I've tried a bunch of transit apps and this one's pretty solid overall. The core functionality works well - buying tickets, checking schedules, getting alerts. It's not the prettiest app but it gets the job done. The ability to easily transfer tickets is a nice perk too. The main downside is the occasionally confusing UI, but you get used to it. If you rely on the MBTA regularly, this app will make your life a lot easier.

Literally useless on a pixel 9 due to buttons being in the margins. This is a new problem, it used to work fine on the same phone.

Devin O’Leary Oct 19, 2025

interface is garbage. there was a notification I couldn't get passed to actually use the app because of where they positioned a botton

APP display so large you can't access the menu to get to your account. Sign in doesn't function because it is hidden, fixed rotation so no work around,
