Posted by Michael549 on Wed Nov 20 15:18:52 2013, in response to Re: Commuters want B44 stops restored to new SBS route (Avenue L stop), posted by BrooklynBus on Wed Nov 20 08:09:49 2013. Here is something that I do not understand.Some folks have been complaining about the inability to transfer between the SBS-B44 bus, to the regular local B44, and to transfer to another Brooklyn bus. Saying that the rider now has to pay two fares. On the MTA website it states that on a person's MetroCard (when swipped in a fare machine) contains a transfer, and also that a person can show the bus driver their printed ticket from the SBS bus fare machine to enter the bus. This really seems like a solve-able problem. So . . . why can't a person swipe their MetroCard as usual for the SBS B44 bus, use their printed ticket to gain entry on the usual B44 local bus, then use their MetroCard and its transfer on the third Brooklyn bus? Yes, it is a little "crafty", but if folks are gonna complain ... Just wondering. Yes, I know that there are folks that really do have to take three buses to get to their destinations. And yes, there will be kinks to work out with the new bus arrangements. Mike |
