Actually, it isn’t quite the same as Viewfromthe42’s idea. If I understand his idea correctly, he’s proposing that a big organization buy passes for all its employees, negotiating a steep discount in the process because of the bulk purchase. In the case of TravelWise, employees can (if they choose) purchase their own pass, and being an employee of a participating organization entitles them to a 15% discount (if they prepay the entire year).
I’m still not knocking that. I wish that I had the ability to save 15% by pre-paying my entire year’s bus pass. For some people, that might make sense, and presumably there’s value to the GRT in knowing for sure that monthly pass purchases won’t drop off for some reason.
