Not to sidestep your question, but do you live in NYC and not use the unlimited pass? I'd assumed everyone did.

My colleagues who live close to work do not own an unlimited card. You've also got people who commute mainly by bike or scooter and only use the subway due to weather conditions or when going out after work/on weekends.
