S 2147 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Creates an extra transfer for pay-per-ride Metrocard users

This bill requires New York City's transit authority to implement a policy allowing pay-per-ride Metrocard users to receive two automatic free transfers between subway, bus, or bus-to-bus routes within a two-hour window after purchasing their initial fare. It directly affects Metrocard users who pay per ride, enabling them to switch between transit modes without additional cost during that timeframe. The policy must be funded exclusively by state appropriations, not the transit authority's operating or capital budget, and may be amended later.
