Secrets of the MTA

In New York, transfers from local bus-to-subway, local bus-to-local bus, and subway-to local bus are free within two hours.

The most useful transfer, from subway-to-subway, isn't free, except with two exceptions:

1) Between the 4/5/6/N/R/W at 59th+Lexington and the F at 63rd+Lexington in Manhattan

2) Between the 7 at 45th Rd-Court House Sq and the E/V at 23rd St-Ely Ave and the G at LIC/Court Sq in Queens.

This Poor College Student has used both!
