If you know for a fact that you will definitely take a round trip on a cable car, that's $14 on its own. You could make the argument that the extra $17 is worth not needing to deal with cash and paper transfers the rest of the time.
But it looks like there is no youth discount on the 3-day pass so really that tips in the favor of cash.

This weekend they seemed to be trying an actual coordinated dispatch. There were extra people managing the Jones/Beach launch point and making sure the trains were leaving with a reasonable number of people.
It wasn't QUITE as bad as earlier in the summer but it was still frustratingly full. I wouldn't try it with luggage.
