Don't believe that paper transfers were used at E 180th because the IRT and NYWB stations were already connected and adjacent to each other. What was unusual about the Dyre Line was that before thru service started in 1957 it was closed daily from 1 AM till 5:30 AM. After 9 PM, for many years, fares were collected on the train by a conductor with a bus type fare box. Since the night time shuttle trains were generally two cars, it was not difficult to make passengers enter at only one door (really only an issue on southbound trains). |
