Re: Intermediate Station Fare Payment on SIRT (was:Re: Scrap pecking order with R44-SI)

"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 suspect it'd be (2), but remember that the M10 and M20 used to be one route and that an extra free transfer between the two was instituted when Metrocard was first introduced. Whether this still exists is another matter - I'd be interested to know if anyone's tested one of these:

M10->M20->another bus or subway route
M20->M10->another bus or subway route
another bus or subway route->M20->M10
another bus or subway route->M10->M20

If I were in NYC, I'd go and test these myself...
