That's the MBTA. You cannot use a CharlieCard (which is the official name of the plastic card) on most commuter rail lines because they don't have CharlieCard readers. The only exception is the Fairmount Line which runs a pilot in Zone 1A where a machine on the platform can print a proof-of-payment based on your CharlieCard.

No they make charliecards with the commuter rail pass printed on the other side if you order them online.
They are a lot more durable than the paper tickets, using a commuter rail paper pass can get pretty beat up in a month
