What is the difference to normal paid tickets? Once the ticket is paid I can ride busses out of boredom the whole day.


The difference is that you have to pay for it and money is usually a limiting factor.

If you can afford buying a ticket to ride the bus for no reason every day, no one is going to stop you.

However, most people won’t spend money on things they don’t actually need.


Indeed you can but appearantly just that slight inconvenience is enough to offset the truly bored ones.


No you cant because the ticket is scoped with time and/or destination/direction


Many places offer a "one day" transit pass that lets you ride anywhere you want, for that day.

Random example, MTS: https://www.sdmts.com/fares/fare-chart - the 1-day pass is priced just above a round-trip ticket cost.


Yes you can with an annual ticket. That's why it's called "annual".
