Yep, you put $44 into the machine (well, I use a debit card instead), and you get a piece of cardboard with 'CharlieTicket' and a magstrip on one side, and "NOV 2006 Subway Pass" and a big S and an orange arrow on the other side. I've been buying them this way since June. The next month's pass goes on sale on the 15th of each month.

Convenient that it's the 15th, but I'd be wary of putting so much value into a piece of paper (vs. the more durable plastic). Do you find that the printing wears off over the course of a month?

That's never happened to me. I keep my pass in a wallet slot; if you put it somewhere else the results may be different.
