Which is why the elderly get things like $35 for a transit pass, FOR THE WHOLE YEAR. Its not a low income benefit, its a benefit for managing to not die for 65 years in a row. (Low income seniors get it for $15/year)
By comparison, my adult transit pass is 85.25/month, for a total of $1023 per year.
The seniors pass is 96.5% off the regular rate.
