    Subway and most buses $2.90 a ride, and if you use the same payment method it has a maximum combined fare of $34 per week. That means that if you pay for 12 rides, any more rides are free within a 7 day period.

      Dang that’s awesome. If I were in NY I feel like I would exceed that 12 ride limit & get free rides within the first day or two hahaha.

      I used to live in Japan (in the rural north) and for a time I was also in Tokyo. Their public transportation infrastructure, while intimidating and maze-like (bullet/local trains, buses, the metro) I quickly fell in love how convenient and smoothly things ran. With a suica pass I would actually get on trains with no real destination just to enjoy the ride hahaha (and the a/c).

      Careful, this comic author might figure out a way to make a new comic about how good public transportation is bad for society
