Re: ''Metrocard transfer''-- the MTA.info answer |

Posted by Jeff H. on Tue Dec 16 19:57:56 2008, in response to "Metrocard transfer"-- the MTA.info answer, posted by gbs on Tue Dec 16 03:19:46 2008. That was a really long and confusing explanation. Insteadof creating all this lingo like "three-legged transfer" the note on the system map which calls things like 63St-59St a "Metrocard Transfer" should reference a note which says, in simple language: If you used a pay-per-ride Metrocard and began your trip on a bus, you will be screwed out of the so-called "free transfer" The only fair way to remedy this bug in the system is to install a machine inside the fare controls of the affected stations which encodes a transfer on your per-ride metrocard which is only valid for re-entry at the other end of the "wallking transfer" within 18 minutes. |
