Posted by irtredbirdr33 on Tue Mar 28 16:55:43 2023 Transit Trivia No. 9 Subway-Bus Transfers Points Before Chrystie Street 1) Once upon a time there were many locations in the transit system where one could make a free transfer between a bus and a subway train. During most of the 1960’s there were only three locations left where this was possible. What were they? 2) Again in the 1960’s there were two locations were a passenger needed a paper transfer to transfer between two subway lines? What were they? Answers below: 1) Subway-Bus Transfers: A) Rockaway Parkway - between the BMT Canarsie Line (Rts 14 & 16) and the B-42 bus. B) Marcy Avenue-Broadway – between the BMT Broadway- Brooklyn Line (Rts 10,14,15) and the B-29 bus (to and from Kent Avenue only). C) Jay Street-Borough Hall – between the IND Eighth Avenue Line (Rts A & E) and the B-57, B-62, B-67, B-69 and B-75 buses. The actual transfer ticket was issued to passengers paying a fare at Broadway-Nassau Street and obtaining a transfer at that time. 2) Out of System Transfers between Subway Lines. A) Franklin Avenue-Fulton Street between the IND Fulton Street Line (Rt A) and the BMT Franklin Avenue Line (Rt 7) B) Jay Street – between the BMT Myrtle Avenue Line (Rt 11) at Bridge-Jay Street Terminal and the IND Eighth Avenue Line (Rts A & E) at Jay Street-Borough Hall Station. This transfer had restrictions: 1) From the BMT to the IND the transfer ticket was issued at stations on the Myrtle Avenue Line from Sumner Avenue to Navy Street to passengers purchasing a token and requesting it. (At night there were on agents at these stations so the transfer tickets were issued at Bridge-Jay Streets). 2) From the IND to the BMT the transfer ticket ticket was issued to passengers paying a fare at Broadway-Nassau Street and obtaining a transfer at that time.
