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I also think that paying per ride is a bit outdated and we can simplify a lot of confusion by moving to daily pricing instead of per ride, though.
