Except there are closer to 20 working days per month for month for most people, and it's kind of a wash at that point.

What you do get though is freedom from thinking about the cost of rides, which is pretty great.

Not for people who can't get better than part-time hours at either of their jobs.

Work adds an artificial limit to the number of times the subway is used. The point is, if you go out once a day using the subway, it’s costs you more if you can’t bare the upfront cost.
