<p>New BU student wondering what the best/cheapest plan/way to get use of the T at BU/in Boston. Please help</p>
<p>do you live far from campus? do you plan to go out to the city to explore alot? will you have a job off campus? there are a lot of factors to consider</p>
<p>Our leader at orientation said that almost noone gets the pass unless they know they are going to need it several times a day. Most people load up on rides once a semester or so (like put $20 in just to get the bulk deal), and just refill when ready. that way, if your roommate is with you, and she doesn’t have her pass, you can swipe her in, and visa versa.</p>
<p>My daughter uses the T quite a bit, but not enough to justify the monthly pass. She got a Charlie Card and just fills it as needed.</p>
