Sort of, if the person used the bus only once a day. But normally, one uses the bus on the trip going to the city, then again back, or twice a day.
You are right, the person saves 1 dollar per trip. The question is how many trips a day the person takes.
The bus fare in a city is $1.75. People who use the bus have the options of purchasing a monthly coupon for $29.00. With the coupon book, the fare is reduced to $0.75. Determine the number of times in a month the bus must be used so that the total monthly cost without the coupon book is the same as the total monthly cost with the coupon book...i think its 29 but can you double check it please? thanks

Anyway, it takes 29 trips to break even.
