Line ride from Charles/MGH back to their car in South Boston. They had
more than $10 on each of their cards, but the station gates failed to
open, displaying an "expired'' message.

Wouldn't it be more appropriate to trap people /inside/ the Boston metro

Charlie doesn't work that way IIRC - it's only read on entry. To get

Oooooohhhhh
