Posted by Larry,RedbirdR33 on Sat Oct 20 11:24:35 2012, in response to Re: Polo grounds shuttle was to be connected to Lenox Line, posted by MATHA531 on Fri Oct 19 18:20:08 2012. When the 9th Avenue El was discontinued south of 155 Street two free transfer points were established on June 12, 1940. One was at 155 Street and 8 Avenue and the other was at 161 Street and River Avenue. Both transfer points used tickets. The tickets did carry a restriction that they were valid only for use on the IND south of the transfer point and on the IRT north of that point. This restriction was never enforced.On August 17, 1961 new escalators and passageways were opened at 161 Street permitting in-house transfers and the use of paper transfers was discontinued .
