Vidappe: Making the CharlieCard Useful

Hey Terriers,

You might want to clean off your desk and find that card.

From twitter to facebook and even on our blog, rants and raves about how much the MBTA fails is a common theme in Boston. What few of us know, however, is that the CharlieCard you (may or may not) use can get you DISCOUNTS around the city. WHAT!? I know. Finally, something that card is actually good for.

Listed in the CharlieCard Discount Book are over 150 special offers you can get simply by flasing your pass. Discounts include dining, shopping, museums and even heatlh/fitness locations. There’s a lot more, so be sure to check it out.

But let’s be honest, Terriers, we’re not going to carry around a little discount book everyday, so there’s a new phone application (called “Vidappe”) that will alert you as you get close to them. A little freaky, but cool nonetheless, am I right?

So, for all you iPhone and Android users, be sure to download Vidappe and start using your discounts. For us blackberry users…. we’ll have to do some reading….

Until next time, keep being you, BU.
