Title of bill
An act to amend the public authorities law, in relation to free transfers from the terminal points of subway lines to omnibus lines and from the terminal points of omnibus lines to subway lines operated by the New York city transit authority
Purpose/summary of provisions
This bill will require that free transfers will be given from all terminal points of subway lines to omnibus lines and from terminal omnibus points to all subway lines.
This bill will amend subdivision one of section twelve hundred five of the public authorities law.
Justification
Throughout New York City, uniformity of the fare burden must prevail. Correspondingly, since uniformity cannot be achieved through practical means, provisions must be made to allow commutation without the financial burden of two fares. In addition, this bill would promote the general use of mass transit, with subsequent favorable effects on air pollution levels and traffic congestion in the city.
