We take public transportation when we travel and always seemed to be fumbling with finding our passes or our transfers.  Not now.  We put our passes and even a few dollars or a credit card into this holder, put it around our neck and tuck it under our clothing until such a time as the bus is coming.  I can't tell you how often we have been able to run for the bus, caught it and simply hauled out our passes.  No more hunting for passes in our pocket and purses.  I thought it was well made and suited our purpose just fine.  We look like natives rather than tourists which is also good when you simply want to blend in.
