So assuming two rides in each working day that's still $6.42 per day

That's a bad assumption, since NYC residents tend to use the subway for non-work-related travel as well.

Assuming you don't take any non-work rides, ever.

As mentioned, you hop on a train to do anything/everything. In a single weekend you might take 10 rides.

Edit: well if you live in a part of the city that has good coverage - up in the Bronx it's not so great naturally so I wouldn't be surprised if those people didn't get as much value out of a monthly card.

But those people can still use local buses to get around on the exact same pass. So they could feasibly hit the cap anyways.

true!
