Buy a multi-day transit pass instead of single tickets
Break-even is usually just three or four rides.
Why it works
Single tickets carry a per-ride premium that a day or multi-day pass is priced to beat quickly — most systems break even at three to four rides, which a normal day of sightseeing or commuting clears before lunch.
