T Pass Sunday Special?

[tt02144.livejournal.com]

The T used to offer a 2-for-1 special on Sundays.  If you had a pass you could bring a friend along 'for the ride' for free.  I can't find anything on their website.  Anyone know if they still offer this?  Thanks.

No. The Sunday "free guest" benefit disappeared a few years ago, when the MBTA simplified the fare structure, and eliminated numerous exceptions to the basic fare. For example, there used to be a 25-cent surcharge for single-ride payment when boarding between Fenway and Reservoir, and this was eliminated at the same time. (The extra quarter on the fare was not widely known, because these stops were included in the basic Subway pass).

No, this ended with the last fare increase and the universal adoption of Charlie on 1/1/2007.

Although I liked the benefit, it was often a pain to use, since you had to push past the line of people waiting to buy tokens so you could flash your pass and the attendant could open the gate. This always felt rude and impolite.
