Weedends and Holidays: So a commute to downtown from Zone 3 would cost $10.00 return daily. A lot of companies have payroll deduction for passes, which are then slightly cheaper.
Buses take exact fares only or tickets. |
wow, that's crazy too. here, if you need a métro pass to get to work, your employer will subsidize it. i believe they pay half, if memory serves. i obviously no longer get this benefit, as i am self-employed (or, depending on your perspective, my employer now pays ALL my transit fares !
), but since i work at home i technically no longer need it either.
