(Interestingly, the surcharge doesn't seem to apply to MDW trips. I wonder why.)
Won't most who make the daily commute for work have a monthly pass already? Same for many others who ride the cta routinely to get to work in other parts of the city. Still seems like an okay deal given the difference in price relative to taxis and the ability to avoid rush hour traffic.
