Posted by New Flyer #857 on Thu Nov 27 22:51:01 2014, in response to EXIT TURNSTILE FOR METROCARD TRANSFERS, posted by fset on Thu Nov 27 21:31:32 2014. In Staten Island, you start your trip on a S.I. bus, then transfer to the ferry, which should just give "OK" but not deduct a fare, so you could continue in Manhattan on a train or bus.This is already the case (except there is no swipe on the ferry as the ferry is free). You can transfer from one bus to another for free, with some exceptions, and you can always transfer from any bus to the subway. Doesn't matter if the transfer is used far, far away from the origin. So for example sometimes I would do Queens bus to LIRR to Brooklyn bus, using the free transfer on the Brooklyn bus (of course this requires LIRR fare). Or, one of my favorites -- using one MetroCard for a local bus, a second MetroCard for an express bus, transfer to a second express bus, and then using the first card for another local bus to complete your journey. (This accomplishes a trip in one express fare and one local fare, rather than the two express fares you would have paid with one card. Of course timing is crucial). |
