MTA offers commuters two options: One is to pay $30 weekly for an unlimited trip Metrocard. The other option is to pay $2.50/trip. by Anne Cortissoz https://padlet.com/cortissozanne/qgmrh0z54rnikace FOR ONE WEEK, WHICH DO YOU THINK IS A BETTER DEAL AND WHY?? en-us 2021-01-07 03:20:37 UTC 2026-02-19 20:51:19 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f683.png I think that $2.50/trip is better because you can pay $30 a week and just not use the subway or bus the whole week. Another reason why $2.50/trip is better is that during the pandemic all of us use the subway and bus less frequently than we did before the quarantine. https://padlet.com/cortissozanne/qgmrh0z54rnikace/wish/1064577624 -Tim]]> 2021-01-07 18:35:16 UTC https://padlet.com/cortissozanne/qgmrh0z54rnikace/wish/1064577624 Chris https://padlet.com/cortissozanne/qgmrh0z54rnikace/wish/1064579072  If your traveling every day then probably the 2.50 per trip. Its cheaper because it has a lower pace rate of change. ]]> 2021-01-07 18:35:31 UTC https://padlet.com/cortissozanne/qgmrh0z54rnikace/wish/1064579072 Conan Chan Lee chanleeconan https://padlet.com/cortissozanne/qgmrh0z54rnikace/wish/1064579339 I would probably choose to pay the 30 dollars because I would only  ever ride the train on week days and on those days I would make 2 trips per day. If I pay 2.50 per trip that would cost 25 dollars. If I choose to pay 30 dollars for unlimited so that if I need to make another trip it would not cost extra. If I would then need to also go out on a weekend to buy groceries then that's another 5 dollars. so it's about the same.]]> 2021-01-07 18:35:34 UTC https://padlet.com/cortissozanne/qgmrh0z54rnikace/wish/1064579339 I would only use the $2.50 per trip compared to the $30 a week if I were to use the subway or bus less then 12 times a week but if I used it more it would only make sense to get the $30 per week -Nathan Zaino https://padlet.com/cortissozanne/qgmrh0z54rnikace/wish/1064580209 2021-01-07 18:35:44 UTC https://padlet.com/cortissozanne/qgmrh0z54rnikace/wish/1064580209 Keira Liconte licontekeira https://padlet.com/cortissozanne/qgmrh0z54rnikace/wish/1064580324 I think that $2.50 is the better deal. This is because if you calculate 2.50 times 7 you would get 17.50 per week, assuming you used it each day, which would be less than $30 each week. Another thing to take into consideration is how many times you use it per week if you used it lets say 14 times a week for there and back then that would be $35 so I would say most likely $2.50 would be the best choice]]> 2021-01-07 18:35:45 UTC https://padlet.com/cortissozanne/qgmrh0z54rnikace/wish/1064580324 I would chose the $2.50 because I usually ride the train 2 times a day. But I could ride the train more often on some occasions, then I would do the $30.00 per week. Or we could pay more and get a cleaner, more efficient network -Ethan C https://padlet.com/cortissozanne/qgmrh0z54rnikace/wish/1064580624 2021-01-07 18:35:49 UTC https://padlet.com/cortissozanne/qgmrh0z54rnikace/wish/1064580624 I think $30 per week is better https://padlet.com/cortissozanne/qgmrh0z54rnikace/wish/1064581135 I think this because if it were me, I take the train or the bus once to school, and once home, so that means $5 a day, and 5x7 is  $35, because on the weekend i visit friends and take the bus and train, so it is cheaper to buy the unlimited. also, if i wanna go downtown for another reason, I already have it in the price so its included -Ryan Kufeld

10 x 2.50= 25$ and that is less than 30$.  ]]> 2021-01-07 18:35:59 UTC https://padlet.com/cortissozanne/qgmrh0z54rnikace/wish/1064581481 https://padlet.com/cortissozanne/qgmrh0z54rnikace/wish/1064581679 the 2.50 is better becuase you can ride as little and as much as you want but if your planning on using the train or bus to go everywhere then the 30 dollors would be better.

In my case, I don't really use the MTA, especially now because of COVID. Which is why the $2.50 is better in my opinion. $30 is a lot to spend especially if I'm most likely not going to use it more than once a day.]]> 2021-01-07 18:36:12 UTC https://padlet.com/cortissozanne/qgmrh0z54rnikace/wish/1064582687 I think you will only spend around 14 dollars a week or around 17, (in transfers) so thats less weekly than 30.Therefore the $2.50 is better. https://padlet.com/cortissozanne/qgmrh0z54rnikace/wish/1064583088 -Brandon V]]> 2021-01-07 18:36:17 UTC https://padlet.com/cortissozanne/qgmrh0z54rnikace/wish/1064583088 I think 2.50 per ride is a better deal, because $30 is a lot if you don't take the train that much that week. https://padlet.com/cortissozanne/qgmrh0z54rnikace/wish/1064583100 -ruby]]> 2021-01-07 18:36:17 UTC https://padlet.com/cortissozanne/qgmrh0z54rnikace/wish/1064583100 I feel like the $2.50/trip is better because not everyone will take the train everyday but for those that use the train really often then the $30 weekly should be better for you. chenmichelle1 https://padlet.com/cortissozanne/qgmrh0z54rnikace/wish/1064583649 Michelle Chen]]> 2021-01-07 18:36:23 UTC https://padlet.com/cortissozanne/qgmrh0z54rnikace/wish/1064583649 Grace https://padlet.com/cortissozanne/qgmrh0z54rnikace/wish/1064584041 My option would be 2.50 because a week of 7 days for each trip would be less than 30$.
