I'd agree with the first, but why the second?

As I mentioned in another thread, nothing I've seen suggests that fares are a barrier to use of the bus or subway. With the MBTA, subway rides are $2, bus rides are $1.50, and a week-long pass for unlimited use of both is $15. Even New York's $89/month for unlimited use of subway and local bus is many times more cost-effective than cab fare or car insurance.

4 week long passes cost $29 less than month long pass?
The former was Boston, the latter is NYC. NYC's 7-day card is $27
Ah, thanks
$89/month is in New York. $15/week is in Boston.
