When transferring from subway to bus, it's not your watch, not the bus driver's watch, but the clock on the farebox that governs the transaction. I have noticed the the clock on some fareboxes can be significantly off the correct time.

I wonder. If the farebox on a certain bus is running 20 minutes ahead of actual time, someone uses a PPR MetroCard on that bus, rides to a subway station, and uses the card to enter the subway 15 minutes after using it on the bus. The clock on the AFC system is in sync with actual time.

Would the system honor a transfer that was issued five minutes in the future?
