Generally, rail passes are only worthwhile for days where you're going
to be travelling long distances. For commuter situations, much better
options should be available - as you've discovered. If you're inside
the coverage area of a local transport authority, they'll always have
something useful.
For the rest of your travel, check out the point-to-point prices before
committing to one of the broader tickets. |
