Hi,
Do both of the above sound good and mean about the same? Thanks.

Yes, both mean the same but the first is colloquial (and, I suspect, American).

I wouldn't read them as the same.

A bus pass let's you use the bus throughout that period. If you have a bus pass that's good for a month, you can ride any bus in that transportation system as often as want during that month.

If you have a bus ticket that is valid for one month, then I would infer you had a ticket for a single trip on a bus, and you had to use it within on
