When I asked her to explain that as I pointed out the free transfer written in the brochure, she said she didn't know.

I'm not going to swipe for a receipt unless I see the blue lights.

That's great. What time were these two trips? I ask because as you know there are only 3 lanes open on 2nd Ave due to the endless subway construction and the traffic there is a nightmare.
Isn't 79th just enough below the construction to be not greatly affected.

I think its a case of something wrong going into the brochure and MTA now being subject to a liability.
