AI Summary

This bill amends a previous law to mandate that fares on the heavy rail, light rail, and bus systems of the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) cannot vary based on the distance traveled by a rider or any proxy for distance. This ensures equitable access to subway and bus service, as riders will pay the same fare regardless of the length of their trip.
