The 31 day pass is $90 which seems like an absolute steal. I remember paying $60 back in the 80s. (I also remember paying $20 to the kid who stole them from his private school).

That $60 pass had to have been transbay, there's no way you're comparing apples to apples lol

$60 is $190 in 2025 dollars. transbay monthly pass is currently $234, which sounds about right. overall get the impression bus fares have only gone up a notch faster than inflation.

90 bucks is a fucking lot if you make 15$ or under

Six hours' pay over the course of a month? Are you hearing yourself?

If you’re that poor most of your income is already eaten by rent

And as you know Sic, if the problem is paying the $90 all at once – that’s what fare capping is for.

90$ from your monthly budget is still 90$ whether it comes out all at once or not dumbass

And/or the Zero Fare program we're piloting here, where the city pays for transit for (today, a fraction chosen by lottery; someday, hopefully, all) of the people already registered for public assistance.

They’re piloting a similar program for large institutions in the Bay Area that’s actually revenue-positive for transit agencies.
