I remember these when I was a kid: These transit tokens were first introduced in 1887 by the Rochester City and Brighton Railway, and have been used for riding the subway(yes believe it or not Rochester did have a subway), and transit buses. I think my mother would get 10 for a $1 back in the 60s.
Figure it this way Amanda, that's for one weeks bus rides too and from work or school. Today, it's a $1 each way, and you can buy monthly passes for $56.
$56 is here in Rochester, not NYC. Since I've never lived in NYC, and never used public transportation there, I have no clue on the cost of a monthly, and would take your's, and Ruben's, word for it. Never even rode the LIRR either.
So how much public transport is in Rochester? [video=youtube;IXtJ7krx6ik]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXtJ7krx6ik[/video]
SEPTA they run the transit system in the Philadelphia area The base cash fare for bus, trackless trolley, subway, and trolley service is $2.00. Cash is accepted for travel on all services. Exact fare must be used. Good luck riding the [h=1]Market-Frankford Line or The Broad Street Line[/h]I'll be taking the train only $1.00 for us senior folks and a heck of a lot safer
