New Charlie Card instead of monthly T-pass and tokens!

Looks like we might be going all high-tech at some point with a pay-as-you-go fare card system:

New Card Fare System

I'd never heard of this Charlie fellow before either.

FWIW, I grew up here too (as you know, JL) but didn't know anything about the song or the story until I returned as an adult, a few years ago. So I humbly submit that ignorance of the song heretofore is unfortunate but permissible. :)

(I wonder if the green thing ol' Charlie is holding on the card's artwork is his daily sandwich?)

Thanks. I feel a little better for not knowing a song composed in the 50's, local or not!
