Why on earth are you buying the ticket books if you take public transport nearly every day? If that's really the case, a monthly pass is cheaper, and the monthly pass will still be available after Compass is introduced.
- YZF 12y agoI work from home some days and I travel to work at 3-Zone times and back from work after 6:30pm which is 1-Zone times. Would a monthly pass be cheaper for me? EDIT: I knew the answer but just to be sure I double checked. The cost of the 3 zone monthly pass would be equal to 21 days of travel a week on the 1/3 zone book combo. Since I work a few days from home it's not worth my while. Compass will not change this. I see it as another example of inflexibility since in theory Compass could automatically give me a better rate for this much travel.
- itsybitsycoder 12y agoIOW, you don't take transit nearly every day, but 66% of days. Yeah, there is not a lot of room in the transit fees to get a good deal if you fall somewhere on the spectrum between "daily commuter" and "infrequent rider".
