About this app

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.

THE BROTHA DERRICK SHOW:

The app is convenient,but most drivers are not familiar with the daily codes. Also the app needs to be updated for android 13. I have 2 samsungs and the ships and bus dont move. I have to carry a 3rd phone (an old Samsung Galaxy S8) where the ship,and train does move. It's very inconvenient, but other than those 2 issues. The app is very good. Please update the app for android 13,and its perfect.

I find this app very useful for the average person to use, but the only thing I can say would make this app better is to add a widget and nfc tap function. It would be great if you could have your tickets on the main screen, and be able to pull up the ticket(s) and tap them just like a charm card. It saves the bus driver time from looking at multiple people's phones, also makes getting on bus more efficient during rush hour

This system is horrible. I have a charm card and it is a complete nuisance to buy passes for it. The app and cards are not compatible with each other and all the mta machines are cash only. But yet they tell you to get the app to load passes with a debit card. The entire system is moving backwards. Nowhere else in the country are metro fare machines cash only. It makes no sense when everybody else is going cashless in Baltimore.
