Sounds like a long term ticket, though I would call it a pass.
Most students here in Japan use 3 month passes between 2 stations designated on their
pass (digital or paper ones; Pasmo cards in Japan are these) and have to repurchased or
renewed for another time period. This is separate from the "debit card" style
of pre-paid cards (like a Suica card in Japan or a BART ticket in San Fran) that track
money for individual fares. They are time based tickets that has unlimited use over a
time (usually over a month) for a chosen route - so buying one is different than buying a
single-use ticket.
I can see the use of "plan" (as it is a monthly, sessional, or yearly
contract), but I have never heard it referred to as that. I would choose
public_transport_long_term_pass or similar, but if it is in use and eventually documented
and supported by mapping apps, then it should be fine.
There are only 75 of these .. ask the people who placed them in OSM for an answer as
to what they mean by 'public_transport_plans".
