How to find out the remaining value on a Charlie Ticket?
I am wondering if there is any way to find the remaining value on a Boston Charlie Ticket? I have several "left over" and would like to know if they have stored dollars on them.

You can insert them into any fare vending machine at any subway or commuter rail station to see what value, if any, is on them. At this time there is no way to check the value online (and likely never will be).
