Yes, GO on Presto also has loyalty discounts short of a monthly pass. You just take the bus or train and it applies the best deal for you.
Transferable passes: when I was a kid in Montreal all passes were in principle non transferable. You were supposed to sign them. Sometimes they'd have blitzes where they made people sign their passes. Then it changed such that full fare passes are indeed transferable. Now full fare Opus cards are transferable.
In Zurich you can get a nontransferable monthly pass with photo, or a transferable one for a bit more. There is an advantage to the nontransferable one though: if you forget your pass and get checked, you only have to pay 5chf instead of the normal penalty. (You do that by showing up to pay with the pass.)
