List of New York City Subway transfer stations

The New York City Transit Authority (NYCTA), manager of the New York City Subway, also offers limited free transfers between subway lines that allow passengers to reenter the system's fare control.

The contactless OMNY fare payment system installed in 2019-2020 supports the same free transfers as the MetroCard does.

[3] On July 1, 1948, post-unification, many free transfers between the former systems were created coincident with the doubling of the fare from five to ten cents.

[12] When the elevated IRT Third Avenue Line closed from Chatham Square to South Ferry on December 22, 1950, a paper transfer was given to the M15 bus route.

[citation needed] When the new "H" system was implemented on August 1, 1918, the Public Service Commission was unprepared for the heavy traffic using the 42nd Street Shuttle.

However, by 1960, night and weekend Lexington Avenue Line service (5 and 6 trains) stopped at the outer platform.

This unadvertised transfer existed until 1977, when Lexington Avenue Line trains stopped running to South Ferry.

[39] Lexington Avenue-63rd Street was originally a two level station with the BMT tracks hidden behind a now demolished wall with orange tiles.

[40] A paper transfer[4] at the Polo Grounds (155th Street), between the IND Concourse Line and Polo Grounds Shuttle, was created on June 12, 1940, immediately after the IRT Ninth Avenue Line was closed south of 155th Street.

[62] Bridge trolleys were discontinued on March 6, 1950, and the transfer was replaced with one to the IND Sixth Avenue Line.

[citation needed] A paper transfer[4] was added at Rockaway Avenue between the temporary east end of the underground IND Fulton Street Line and the new west end of the elevated BMT Fulton Street Line, immediately after the BMT Fulton Street Line was closed west of Rockaway Avenue on June 1, 1940.

[54] When the BMT Fulton Street Line was closed east of Rockaway Avenue on April 27, 1956, these transfers were discontinued.
