I've done the maths. Paying for my own orca card even with puget pass is going to be at a rate of $3.4 a day at a $108 a month for a $3 trip value card (the value of most trips that I take) for a 30 day month (assuming I ride the bus every day. Idk. I didn't subtract for days off. I'm trying to keep things simple here.)
It's still a better deal than paying $6 every day round trip with plain cash like the transit system's bitch, but not as good as my mom's group health card's monthly value which was at least half as much as what i'm going to have to pay now.
Gonna bling the shit out of this card.
EDIT:
I had to find out what was the minimum amount of days I had to use the card so that I would at least break even with plain-cash-bitch rate ($6)
So ($6)(X)=$108
where x is the days you ride the bus and you get 18. ok.
Ride bus more than 18 days a month and you at least get a better deal than plain-cash-b. Ride all 30 or 31 days in the month and you get the 43% off deal of paying $3.4 a day vs. $6.
