The bug in the system that I really think they should have worked out was the one that doesn't allow you to put next month's LinkPass on your CharlieCard while it is still holding this month's LinkPass.
To explain, if I have a March LinkPass on my CharlieCard, I can't load April onto the CharlieCard until March is over. But then I can't use the CharlieCard to get to the station where I can load the LinkPass; I'd have to buy a $2 CharlieTicket first to get there. That's why we're still buying our new LinkPasses online, and why they keep sending us brand new CharlieCards each month.
If the T wants everyone to own and use one and only one CharlieCard, they should have worked this out before activating the system.
