A 4 zone monthly ticket in London is like $300 for comparison. 6 zones is $360!

London is 3 times the size of Manhattan, Bronx, Queens and Brooklyn combined, and Zone 6 is even larger than that.

I assume an "unlimited metro card" also includes unlimited buses too?

Yes, it includes local buses. It also includes the Staten Island Railway, so it doesn't make sense to exclude an entire NYC borough from land size comparisons.

I wasn't sure and hedged on a 4 zone.

A 2 zone is $220. I think in size that's roughly comparable?

And in my experience people who mostly take the tube rarely make use of buses. They'll walk or take the tube
