I can't say I've ever see a timed ticket (except a full day) that is
defined as unlimited rides.

Geneva does (or did when I was last there). Admittedly, though, that
was over ten years ago.

Still does. Fr2.20 for 30 mins/2 zones, 2.50 for (IIRC 45 mins/3
zones, etc. Unfortunately ticket machines don't give change, so when it
was Fr1.80 I often found myself having to pay with a Fr2 coin, but only
able to claim Fr1.80 back from PPARC. I've since wised up and use the
CASH (stored value) of my Swiss bank-card, which debits the exact amount.
If I leave a credit on it, I can head straight to the buses at GVA instead
of getting notes out of a cash mashine and then making a trivial purchase
to get coins, as I usually run myself short of Swiss currency or spend it
in the Duty Free on my way out.
