True, but the problem is a time limitation on the transfers that starts to run don with the first swipe of the card which is 2 hours. Lets ay a late nigh passenger enters the system at T/Sq swipes the cars and just misses a train. 20 min has already been lost in addition to the actual travel time from midtown to So/Fy.. Now that same passenger gets to So/Fy an for whatever reason just misses a boat which coast another hour (or even 30 min since I believe the ferry service has been increased). Take an almost 30 min travel time on the ferry and if that passenger happens to miss a bus connection in SI, the allowed transfer time on the card will have been eaten u[. Of course even with the free ferry the same scenario could exist too which is why overnight the 2 hour window should be increased or as a better alternative, turnstiles should be equipped so that exiting passengers could swipe starting the transfer window from the time of the last EXIT rather than the entry. |
