Month pass is only worth it if you also take transit on weekends or you get subsidized.
And if your work hours are not standard 9-5, you'd lose more money with month pass. In my previous job it was a 2 zone ticket to get to work but I get off work after 630, so there was no reason for me to get 2 zone month pass.

Bear in mind that in British Columbia the average number of work days per month is 21, not 20.

So 2 1-zone trips per day comes out to $109.20.
In theory you could min-max to buy monthly passes on the 21/22 work day months and use stored value for the 19/20 work day months, but that's a bit much.
