The cost of a monthly New York subway pass is…what, about $90? And is good for a solid month from the day you buy it. Toronto sells weekly passes for $36, and they’re only good on a specific date-to-date basis. The one I bought yesterday afternoon (Wednesday) is good until Sunday night. Two rides per day x four and a half days = nine rides at $4 a ride. And then I have to buy another $36 weekly pass to cover next week. Is this reasonable? Not a fan.
