About CharmCard®
CharmCard® is a rechargeable smart fare card. It is embedded with a computer chip to keep track of the cash value and pass products on your card. Every time you use your CharmCard® to add cash value, check your card balance, or pay your fare, you are automatically linked to the computerized fare collection system.
