She currently buys a bus pass for $100 and rides 80 times per month.If she didn't buy the pass, bus rides would cost $2/ride and she would take 20 trips. She is indifferent between the $100 bus pass and $2 per ride. Myrtle is offered to join a Transit program that would allow her to pay a registration fee and then could ride the bus for $1 per trip.

Myrtle also reveals that she would be indifferent between a free membership (and $1 per ride) versus simply having the traditional bus pass reduced to $50 per month (flat rate), where she would again choose to ride the bus 80 times a month. Using all the information provided, draw all the relevant budget constraints and indifference curves.
