We use extensive Monte Carlo transfer matrix calculations on infinite strips of widths $L$ up to 30 lattice spacing and a finite-size scaling analysis to obtain critical exponents and conformal anomaly number $c$ for the two-dimensional $XY$-Ising model. This model is expected to describe the critical behavior of a class of systems with simultaneous $U(1)$ and $Z_2$ symmetries of which the fully frustrated $XY$ model is a special case. The effective values obtained for $c$ show a significant decrease with $L$ at different points along the line where the transition to the ordered phase takes place in a single transition. Extrapolations based on power-law corrections give values consistent with $c=3/2$ although larger values can not be ruled out. Critical exponents are obtained more accurately and are consistent with previous Monte Carlo simulations suggesting new critical behavior and with recent calculations for the frustrated $XY$ model.
