Re: SBS RULE

Re "an Unlimited Ride MetroCard cannot be used again at the same subway station or the same bus route for at least 18 minutes", an aside:

Until recently it never occurred to me that the bus portion of those conditions is more restrictive than the subway portion. Using an unlimited, I purchased an SBS ticket on Kings Highway at West 7th. Then I walked to McDonald Ave and—still on the eastbound side of the street—tried to buy another and got a "JUST USED" message. Why is this not OK when I can swipe in at 18th Street on the 1, leave immediately, walk to 23rd, and swipe into the system again? If the goal is to deter passing the card back, an 18-minute lockout on the same bus or for the machines at the same SBS stop would suffice.
