CharlieKiosk

Meet the CharlieKiosk.

Developed as a proof of concept, with a user interface that allows the user to manipulate the MBTA's 'CharlieCard' through adding value, changing card type, and more.

Some Background.

It all started in august of 2021, when Matty Harris and I were riding the green line. Matty was telling me a story about a group of students from MIT who had found a way to duplicate MBTA fare tickets for free fares. Naturally, we were intruiged and me and Matty quickly set off to try and replicate their findings.
