Although I can’t say for certain, but I would Imagine that the free transfer between the Jerome and Concourse Lines was established at the same time the 9 Av El was demolished to provide Jerome passengers with access not only to the far west side of Manhattan but to the newly opened 6 Av subway which replaced the el that closed 2 years earlier. I also think it was originally a paper transfer since I seem to recall seeing a notice sometime in the 1950s that a new stairway was being opened between the IRT and IND at 161 St which would replace the paper transfer. If I recall a similar situation existed at 74/Roosevelt Av between the IND Qns Blvd Line and the Flushing Line until sometime around 1960. Again I seem to recall seeing a service notice announcing the opening of a new stairway between the IRT station art 74 St and the IND Roosevelt Av station which would replace the paper transfers in use at the time. |
