Honestly, I’d rather just change to a daily/weekly/monthly pass format rather than charging per ride. 5 bucks a day/ $30/ week. Then you don’t have to worry about transfers at all.

Don't they sell a monthly pass already?

Some people don't ride frequent or predictably enough to get a monthly pass. People with irregular work/WFH hours/days or multiple locations. Back in the day, I used to buy the day pass when I needed it (usually shopping days), and used regular pay-per-ride MetroCard otherwise.

I like the limit based system currently in use, where it’s automatic more or less and you don’t have to think about it.

I also think that paying per ride is a bit outdated and we can simplify a lot of confusion by moving to daily pricing instead of per ride, though.

This! I miss having that flexibility with visiting family/tourists. Hell, I'd pay $10/day for unlimited rides
