Why do we still use CharlieCards? MBTA GM hints at phone pay system
Why does Boston still use CharlieCards when other cities, like New York, are using phone tap-ins to ride the subway?
Kristina Rex is a reporter for WBZ-TV News.
She joined the station in August 2018 from Portland, Maine, where she worked as a general assignment reporter, investigative reporter, and fill-in anchor at WCSH. She started her career in New England as well, working as a morning reporter for WLBZ in Bangor, Maine.
In Maine, Kristina reported on a wide variety of topics, including Maine's opioid epidemic, an electric company billing crisis, and the corrupt international business dealings of a local ski mountain. Her reporting on Portland's Unsolved Homicides earned her a Maine Association of Broadcasters award for Enterprise Journalism. She was also honored to travel to Houston in 2017 to cover Hurricane Harvey and its aftermath for KHOU.
An Andover native and a graduate of Phillips Academy and Boston College, Kristina is thrilled to be home, reporting for the station she grew up watching.
