Going from Brooklyn to Manhattan the bus operator gave you a paper transfer that was dropped in a fare box at the turnstile at High Street. Of course you could then ride on the subway forever if you really wanted to. In order to get a free transfer from the A train to the buses at High Street, one had to buy a new token at Broadway/Nassau (at only certain designated booths, if I remember correctly) and request bus transfer at that time. The transfer was only good that day but could be used at any time that day. So if a person was really doing a round trip to/from BroadwayNassau the obvious thing would be to buy the token and transfer when exiting to avoid waiting on line on the return trip (presumably in the PM peak when lines would be long). |
