Further reading of the FAQ on the Select Bus Service answered my question.------------ Quoted Question & Answer What if I pay my Select Bus Service Fare at the Coin Fare Collection machine and then boards the Select Bus Service bus. If I want to transfer to a connecting local bus, how can I do that? This customer must enter the front door and show their receipt to the Bus Operator and request a transfer. The Bus Operator will issue a transfer ticket from the farebox. -------------- My Thoughts: Is the receipt from the Coin Fare Collection Machine DIFFERENT from the one is this issued from the MetroCard Fare Machine reciept. If they ARE DIFFERENT - then yes, another fare is needed for a third bus. Have to test out this theory one day! ------------ Quoted Question & Answer Can I use my SBS receipt on other bus routes? Can I use my SBS receipt to transfer to another SBS route? Your SBS receipt is valid only on the SBS route and bus stop where you purchased it. You cannot use your SBS receipt to board any other local, limited or SBS bus. For example, if you purchased a receipt for the Bx41 route, it cannot be used to transfer to the Bx12 SBS. You must obtain a new receipt from the Bx12 SBS bus stop where you plan to board. Insert the MetroCard you used to pay to board the Bx41 SBS as your free transfer is encoded on it; a receipt will be issued automatically. Or, if you paid with coins on the Bx41 SBS, you must have a transfer that was issued to you, upon request, by the Bx41 SBS operator. Insert that transfer into the Bx12 SBS MetroCard Fare Collector and a receipt will be issued automatically. -------- |
