Similarly, in a month if you were to spend the full value of a monthly pass, it takes only the remaining difference and for the rest of the month, your card is treated as a monthly pass. That way you don't have to have the money up front. A college student could use the card day-by-day, eventually having it convert up into a monthly pass to prevent them overspending, and if they went up to the $292 in Sep-Dec time period, it would become a semester pass. Removes so many barriers to adoption, and disproportionately helps those most in need.
That seems like a good idea ... are there other transit systems that have implemented something similar?
