What does this tool do?
A pass only saves money above a break-even number of rides. This calculator compares per-ride spending with the pass price and shows the break-even point.
The Formula
Pay per ride = Fare × Rides per week × Weeks per month; Pass wins when its price is lowerFrequently Asked Questions
How many rides make a monthly pass worthwhile?
Divide the pass price by the single-ride fare to get the break-even number of rides. The calculator shows this figure alongside your weekly ridership.
Do transfers count as separate rides?
It depends on the agency. Many systems include free or timed transfers, which can make per-ride travel cheaper than a simple fare count suggests.
