New York bill A01313 proposes a policy allowing two automatic free transfers for riders using pay-per-ride Metrocards.

The New York Assembly bill A01313 amends the public authorities law to establish a "two free transfers policy." This policy allows riders who pay for a single fare or rate to receive at least two automatic free transfers at no additional cost. These transfers can be used between any subway and bus, or between buses owned and operated by the authority. The transfers are valid for two hours from the time the fare or rate is collected. The authority must implement this policy using funds appropriated by the state of New York and cannot use its operating or capital budgets for this purpose.
