My point is simple - just because there is an underground passageway does not automatically mean a free transfer exists among the subway stations that connect along that pathway. The idea that the MTA did not come into existence until 1968 does that change the basic point that I made. Often the letters MTA is used by folks to refer to a time WELL BEFORE the MTA came into existence, but usually we "know" what they mean.If I were to make the statement that the existence of express tracks means that there's always an express train service running on those tracks, plenty of folks here would chime in to say that that is not necessarily the case. Yes, there are some locations with express tracks that also have express service upon them, and as well cases and locations that have express tracks where none/zero/nada/no express service is provided at all. Even if we parse the statement: "Every time the MTA builds a new passageway, it includes a new free transfer." The Dey Street Passageway built by the MTA is a direct contradiction of that statement. While many online have spoken on that subject, and as I understand it even within the MTA there was discussion about a free-fare-zone, the MTA DECIDED not to make the Dey Street Passageway a free-fare-zone. So even the MTA is not bound by any "edict" that says that when they build a passageway that IT MUST BE A FREE-FARE-ZONE. The statement: MTA Builds Passageway = (equals) Free-Fare-Zone is NOT TRUE! The above statement, as I've shown is not true in a variety of contexts, even though there exists passageways establish a "free-fare-zone". Just as there exists express tracks have express service.
