Ok next question:Did drivers scrupulously check transfers given them, even at legal locations, to confirm that the transfer was valid? I remember just before paper transfers were discontinued, I would watch drivers take transfers in bulk at major locations and just stare out the window while stacking them up in his/her hand. Granted memories fade but I don't really remember drivers observing/inspecting transfers all that much even if they had the time to, like when receiving only one at a given bus stop. Were they glancing do you think? I also remember that some drivers in issuing transfers really didn't care about what time it was and just handed out full-length transfers (the ones good until the next day) no matter what. Since after midnight, the next time you could set the transfer to expire was at 6am, I guess that meant you had all night to make your transfer if you were traveling overnight. That's one good thing lost due to MetroCard (still I definitely prefer MetroCard transfers to the old policies!) |
