Formula Used
The total cost of your travel cards is calculated using the following formula:
Total Cost = (Number of Trips × Cost per Trip) + (Number of Passes × Cost per Pass)
This formula accounts for both individual trips and any passes you might purchase for your travel needs.
Worked Example
Let's say you plan to make 10 trips and purchase 2 weekly passes. The cost per trip is $3 and the cost per weekly pass is $20.
Total Cost = (10 × $3) + (2 × $20) = $30 + $40 = $70
Your total estimated cost for travel cards would be $70.
