Cultural Tip
In many French cities, transport authorities sell "pass hebdo" (weekly passes) that give unlimited rides on buses, trams, and metros for a fixed price. The term "pass" is also widely used for gym memberships, museum tickets, and even digital streaming services. Because "hebdo" is slangy, you’ll hear it mostly among younger speakers or in informal settings; in a formal context you’d say "abonnement hebdomadaire".
