Finally!!!! fare vending machines have fare charts
The T has finally put up fare charts on the FVM's (fare vending machines) so customers can now figure out how much to add to their CharlieCards or when buying a CharlieTicket.
Why it wasn't done on January 1st when the new fare structure was introduced I don't have an answer but better late than never.

That chart is better than nothing. But it doesn't explain to newcomers the difference between a CharlieCard and a CharlieTicket (the main difference being that the CharlieCard is increasingly difficult to obtain).
It also doesn't have the word "subway" anywhere on it, which doesn't help people who are trying to buy a card or ticket for the bus.
