bus pass

Commuter's boarding credential

A bus pass is a ticket or card that allows unlimited rides on public buses for a set period—a day, week, month, or year.

Passes are typically cheaper than paying individual fares: I save money with a monthly bus pass.

Some cities issue free passes to seniors, students, or low-income residents.
