Keep the Change!!
So today, I went to buy a monthly metro pass since I figure I would be taking public transportation for all my commuting needs. The lady calculated the total and it came out to be $74?? I was thinking, 2 bucks per round trip, 20ish days a month that I will be commuting, which comes out to be about $40 bucks. How the heck is a monthly pass more expensive than just paying per day? Well, it turns out that the ACTUAL fare is supposed to be $2.50 per trip, so $5 for the round trip. Seems like I accidentally underpaid metro last time round...Funny how the driver didn't even bother to tell me.

$2.50 per trip!!!! That is not cheap! However, it's a moot point I guess since it seems no one actually pays that amount.
The metropass in Toronto (~$90) works about to be about the same as total round trip fares on weekdays ($2.25 w/ tokens). The metropass gets you free parking at stations and you earn any extra trips you'd take for free.
Doesn't Accenture get some corporate discount on the metropass?
No discount, but Accenture gives me a $100 per month budget for public transportation.
