Bus pass by definition, is the ticket that you need to present in order to avail a public transport service. This ticket may come in a piece of paper or a reloadable plastic card with magnetic strip. Bus passes may come in different types. A regular pass is the one that you pay for a one way trip, day pass gives you unlimited rides anywhere for one day, and weekly pass allows you to ride any bus of the bus company for one week, monthly pass (one month unlimited rides) and annual pass (one year unlimited rides). These bus pass plans are actually advantageous to passengers who follow the same tract everyday like students and office workers.

The cost of bus passes actually differs on the plan that you are availing and the city in which you are availing this public transportation service. Basically, the longer time period of unlimited rides the more expensive it is and the more prosperous and higher the cost of living, the higher is also its price; these two are directly proportional to the cost of the bus pass.
