travelcards
Commuter ticket booklets
Travelcards are prepaid passes for public transportation, typically valid for unlimited travel within a specified zone and time period—a day, week, or month.
Common in British English, especially for London's transit system: I need to top up my travelcard.
The term covers both physical cards and digital equivalents loaded onto smartphones.
