Save $59.00 with the right pass combination.

  • Buying 1 weekly pass, 3 daily passes costs $57.00, saving you $59.00 compared to paying per trip.
  • The daily pass pays off from 2.8 trips per day onward. You are taking 4 trips per day.
  • A weekly pass beats stacking daily passes when you travel at least 4.1 days in a 7-day period.
  • Your total trip count is 40. Average cost per trip: $1.43 with the optimal plan vs. $2.90 with singles.

Next stepCheck whether your transit network offers reduced-fare passes for seniors, students, or children - these can lower the break-even threshold even further.
