Fare Prepaid Station Listing
The following table lists Green Line stations which have prepaid fare areas (also called fare control), which allow quick boarding through front and rear doors at a train stop. At all other stations, passengers must line up at the front entrance to the railcar to pay fares, slowing travel times especially during peak periods.

Famous quotes containing the words fare and/or station:
“He was a man of Spartan habits, and at sixty was scrupulous about his diet at your table, excusing himself by saying that he must eat sparingly and fare hard, as became a soldier, or one who was fitting himself for difficult enterprises, a life of exposure.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“How soon country people forget. When they fall in love with a city it is forever, and it is like forever. As though there never was a time when they didn’t love it. The minute they arrive at the train station or get off the ferry and glimpse the wide streets and the wasteful lamps lighting them, they know they are born for it. There, in a city, they are not so much new as themselves: their stronger, riskier selves.”
—Toni Morrison (b. 1931)
