However, the 29 charges me $2 correctly. That means free transfers should only work on the designated lines.<br /><br />Another solution to the SF State problem:<br />Whether they ride 28 North to school or not, they'll still be charged $2 on 28 South, then they get $2 off their BART ride when they enter at Daly City. Riders who will enter at Daly City don't even need to ride BART earlier the day in order to get a free ride on Muni. <br /><br />This will also benefit other riders, such as someone riding 28 to Daly City and then BART to SFO. However, this is not what the free transfer program was intened for. The transit systems assumed the transfer machines still exist by requiring a BART ride 1st when transferring.<br /><br />Similarly, I think the 25-cent discount should also apply on simply transferring from Muni to BART, without requiring a rider to ride BART and Muni 24 hours before.<br /><br />When transferring between Golden Gate Transit and Muni, riders (except Muni pass holders) will automatically get the 50-cent discount. There's no need to ride GGT and Muni in the past 24 hours, in order to get a discount from Muni to GGT. BART, Muni and AC should really consider this.Tonynoreply@blogger.com
