In the 1940's, the trip from Flushing to The Bronx involved an extra fare. My memory is the bus driver paying the toll, then pulling to the side of the road and collecting the tickets that showed you had already paid the second zone or making the passenger go to the fare box and insert another nickel. Is memory correct? In July, 1948, the fares were raised, but I think the second fare was collected for another ten or twenty years. How high were the fares when the second zone fare was finally dropped? At what point did the Board of Transportation or the NYCTA or MTA stop paying tolls to the TBTA? |
