What part of speech is miesięczny and why does it end with -y?

Miesięczny is an adjective modifying bilet. It’s in the nominative/accusative singular masculine form, hence the ending -y to agree with the masculine noun.

You take the noun miesiąc (month) and add the suffix -eczny, a common pattern for adjectives meaning “related to” (e.g. roczny from rok, meaning “yearly”).

Why is it na autobus and not na autobusie?
