Boston Train Ticket on Samsung Galaxy
Keep your MBTA train ticket in BuzzMe on Samsung Galaxy and open it straight from your home screen. Your pass sits in an encrypted vault, ready to surface when you head to Boston transit.
Add BuzzMe to Samsung Galaxy
Install BuzzMe straight to your home screen — no app store needed — then create your vault and keep your pass ready at the gate.
How BuzzMe fits Boston rail travel
BuzzMe installs as an app on Samsung Galaxy with no separate wallet required, so your ticket lives on your home screen and not buried in another app. In Boston, BuzzMe also knows the local fare system: MBTA subway rides use a flat fare, the Commuter Rail is zone-based and separate, and CharlieCard supports free or discounted subway-to-bus transfers. For subway travel, you tap in at the gate and there is no tap-out on the core subway lines.
Ready at the gate, even underground
As you approach a station or gate, BuzzMe automatically pins the pass you need to the top of your vault. Your ticket displays offline underground, with the exact QR or barcode the fare gate expects shown at full brightness for a clean scan, so a dead zone on the platform does not leave you stuck.
Private, secure, and easy to buy
BuzzMe keeps your ticket in a secure, encrypted vault accessible only to you, with a live identity watermark on screen to help deter screenshot reuse. If you need a new pass, you can buy transit tickets and passes securely in-app through ChowBanQ with a tokenized card, so your card number never touches BuzzMe.
