10 trips for $25.00 = $2.50 per trip vs $5.00. After all these years of use, I learned something new.

Normally I'd buy a $10 card giving me $11.50 worth of rides. I wonder if this card expires in one year like the other cards in the system do?

Looks like I'll have to buy the 10 trip next week. Thanks. ^
As for the other (pay-per-ride) cards expiring, you can transfer any unused balance to a new card. This option is NOT available on the $25-for-10-ride card.
