Our little boy is growing up so fast! December 4th marks the one-year anniversary of the debut of the CharlieCard, and the milestone has left General Manager Dan Grabauskas waxing poetic: "I guess you'd have to say that Charlie is a precocious child." Precocious? That's one way of putting it. Charlie loves playing practical jokes on us, like when we just need to pay for one ride, only have a $20 bill on us, and end up with 18 Sacajawea dollars jangling in our pockets for weeks. He's such a jokester, that one. Since its inception the CharlieCard has brought in an estimated $13.5 million dollars in additional revenue for the MBTA, leaving them with approximately 85 quadgazillion dollars to go before being in the black. Keep up the good work Charlie!
