Posted by AlM on Sun Sep 3 14:07:44 2006, in response to Re: Intermediate Station Fare Payment on SIRT (was:Re: Scrap pecking order with R44-SI), posted by Rail Blue on Sun Sep 3 13:58:56 2006. a) Some random SI local bus.b) The SIR to St George. c) Walk to Battery Pl for the M20. [Does it really charge you an extra fare because it's not the M1, M6, M9, or M15?] d) Somewhere between 31st and 66th Sts, transfer to the M10. [Test if the M10/M20 transfer is still an extra free transfer.] I can see three possible results: 1) It lets you do it all on one fare. 2) It charges you an extra fare on the M20->M10 transfer. [Which I think is most likely.] 3) It charges you an extra fare for riding the M20 instead of one of the four named routes. It has to be 2) NYCT no longer cares about the source and origination of a transfer (except from one route to the same route, which is always a new charge). I recently took a bus in the Bronx, took MNRR from Fordham to GCT, and then took a subway from GCT. The entry at GCT was a free transfer. If I can get a free transfer from a Bronx bus to the subway turnstile at GCT, I'm sure I can get a free transfer from the SIRT to any NYCT bus of my choosing. I'm sure that I could even get a ride up to midtown and get on a bus or subway there and still get a free transfer if I had one left. On an intersting side note, a few months ago I rode an M101, got off, did some errands, and then got on an M102, and was charged a new fare. Those are evidently considered the same line even though their routes are not identical. |
