In NYC you can get the unlimited monthly passes with auto-refill from your CC at the end of each month. Nothing could be simpler and is a great value esp. compared with prices of anything else in high cost NYC.
It is much cheaper and easier to use than Wash DC. Also, the train frequency even at 11 PM and later is every few minutes in Manhattan. Just wish we had the Verizon WiFi access that the DC Metro has....
- hbosch 12y agoYes, I was waiting for this post to touch on the value of the unlimited pass ($112 for 30 days). If you work 20 days a month, and use the train to commute to and from the office, then you're paying $100/mo just to commute. If you take the train just 5 times outside of your daily commute per month, you start getting free rides. I don't think I ever met someone when I lived in NYC who was buying prepaid cards instead of unlimited ride cards. The "left behind" balance on prepaid cards are the same dark pattern as every gift card in existence: the issuers bank on some (most?) balances being lost or leftover or forgotten.
