Description

The CharmPass app lets you purchase and use fares instantly on your phone—anywhere, anytime. Just download the free app, register your debit/credit card or PayPal account in our secure system, and you're ready to go.

WHY YOU'LL LOVE THIS APP:
• No paper fares to track.
• Purchase BaltimoreLink Local Service, MARC Train, and Commuter Bus tickets all from one app.
• No need to carry cash, count exact change, or find a ticket machine.
• Buy and use fares instantly using a debit/credit card or your PayPal account.
• Pay a single fare or multiple fares for a group of riders.

HOW IT WORKS:
1. CHOOSE SERVICE
2. CHOOSE FARE
3. SELECT TICKET TYPE
4. CHOOSE QUANTITY
5. CHECK OUT

COMMON QUESTIONS:
Q: Do I need to be connected to the Internet?
A: Cellular network or a wireless Internet connection is required to purchase tickets, but you can activate your pre-purchased tickets offline.

Q: What if my battery dies?
A: Just like with paper tickets, you're responsible for making sure you have a valid fare at all times, so be sure to plan ahead!

IMPORTANT REMINDERS:
• Don't uninstall the CharmPass app or erase your phone while you have active tickets on it. Your tickets are stored on your phone (which makes it possible to use them without a cellular network or a wireless Internet connection), so uninstalling the app can permanently erase your tickets!
• Purchase your ticket anytime and activate your fare as you’re boarding.
• Show your ticket to the operator of the vehicle.
• Watch your battery level! Just like with paper tickets, you're responsible for making sure you have a valid fare at all times.

Sometimes

Very good example December 31, 2024 bus came three minutes early roll right up past me. Didn’t even stop and said anything but I’m gonna give you these four stars but y’all need to get y’all people in check you you have very disrespectful bus drivers and I ain’t gonna say all bus drivers are disrespectful. You got bus drivers that’s right pass all people to the simple fact that everybody be on the bus cussing the bus driver out it doesn’t matter he or she black or white right is right wrong is wrong. True facts. I was waiting for y’all to ask me for my view on this app and I’m so sick and tired of y’all even I know that y’all she was not the same company but y’all need to do something for people boy cut the buses I’ll let you know now.

Love that I can buy my ticket on the train

I’m really glad that there’s finally an easy way to get tickets or passes for transit in Maryland without having cash or a loaded CharmCard. When I’m trying to catch a MARC train at the last minute I don’t have to stop for a ticket and maybe miss the train. Same thing for when a Light Rail train shows up just when I do. Or, if I have my CharmCard and my child doesn’t I use the CharmPass to buy their ticket.
My only frustration is that I once bought a ticket mistakenly for a route I’ll never take but there’s no way to refund the ticket, even though it’s still unused in my phone.
But overall it’s a great app.

🤎 Truly Enjoy this app 🤎

My generation doesn’t like carrying cash well at least my selection of Family/Friends 😅, This APP makes getting a bus pass convenient & Easy breezy as them Cover Girl’s 🤪. Plus safe for us “Big City Girl’s”😎!

Only wish there was a loyalty program as sometime’s you just don’t Got it between checks can be hard Or That broke “College Kid” we all been there might need a push maybe each week you get 1 free 🤷🏽‍♀️. ((Wishfully thinking 💭 “Hey A Woman can dream”🥰))

THANKS GUY’S & GAL’S For creating a Fast EASY Safe place for US‼️🙏🏽 ✌🏽
