Old Stuff: Paper Transfers |
|
|
Posted by X-Astorian on Sat Oct 16 13:55:03 2010 Something that quickly fell out of use in New York was the paper bus transfer. Once very commonplace - free or less than full-fare - for rides on an additional one or two buses, they changed and then disappeared entirely with the full implementation of MetroCard in 1997.Below are a few from Queens' privates, likely from the 1970s (city ones to follow), including the Green Bus Lines with their distinctive railroad font time limits. The back of the Q-60 is also shown because it shows the additional transfer opportunities which existed for the payment of an extra quarter with Add-A-Ride when it started in 1975 (more on that later as well).
