How to Find Out How Much Monthly Bus Tickets Are

Purchasing bus tickets monthly -- instead of weekly or on a per-trip basis -- can save you stress, time and money. Choosing to ride the bus as a means of travel is a big decision that can be convenient, cost effective and safe. Considering the cost of gas, car maintenance expenses and traffic conundrums, taking the bus may be a wise decision that can get you from A to B for less, especially if you ride often enough to purchase a monthly pass.
