In theNew York City Subway there are several types oftransfer stations:

1. A station complex is where two or more stations are connected with a passageway insidefare control. There are 472stations of the New York City Subway when each station is counted separately. When station complexes are counted as one station each, the count of stations is 423.
2. Station serving two or morelines. It may be a multi-level or adjacent-platform station and is considered to be one station as classified by theMTA. Typically each track in a station belongs to a certain line.
3. Station serving two or moreservices. Different services may share tracks. These stations are not included in this article; seeList of New York City Subway stations.^[1]

Transfers are not limited to enclosed passageways. TheNew York City Transit Authority (NYCTA), manager of the New York City Subway, also offers limitedfree transfers between subway lines that allow passengers to reenter the system'sfare control. This was originally done through apaper ticketing system before it was replaced by theMetroCard. Now the only permanent MetroCard subway-to-subway transfers are between theLexington Avenue/59th Street complex (4, ​5, ​6, <6>​, N, ​R, and ​W trains) and theLexington Avenue–63rd Street station (F, <F>​​, N, ​Q, and ​R trains) in Manhattan and between theJunius Street (2, ​3, ​4, and ​5 trains) andLivonia Avenue (L train) stations in Brooklyn. The contactlessOMNY fare payment system installed in 2019-2020 supports the same free transfers as the MetroCard does.

Some paper transfers between specific subway stations and bus routes also existed prior to July 4, 1997, when the MetroCard allowed free system-wide subway–bus transfers with fewer restrictions. TheRockaway Parkway station on theBMT Canarsie Line (L train) offers a transfer to theB42 bus within the station'sfare control, the only such transfer within the NYCTA.

The system was created from the consolidation of three separate companies that merged in 1940: theInterborough Rapid Transit Company (IRT), theBrooklyn–Manhattan Transit Corporation (BMT), and theIndependent Subway System (IND). The earliest transfer stations were between lines of the same system: either the IRT, BMT or IND. The earliest free connection between lines that remains in existence is atGrand Central–42nd Street between theIRT Flushing Line and theoriginal IRT subway (now served by theIRT 42nd Street Shuttle), which opened on June 22, 1915.^[2] Some stations were constructed with passageways that connected different systems, such as the original IRT subway's (nowIRT Lexington Avenue Line)Brooklyn Bridge station with the BMT Centre Street Loop Subway's (nowBMT Nassau Street Line)Chambers Street station.^[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.^[4]

The most recently created station complex is theJay Street–MetroTech complex in Brooklyn on theIND Culver Line,IND Fulton Street Line andBMT Fourth Avenue Line; opened on December 8, 2010.^[5] TheCourt Square complex in Queens, which opened in 1988 as a connection between theIND Queens Boulevard andIND Crosstown lines, was expanded by adding a passageway to theIRT Flushing Line on June 3, 2011.^[6][7] A free transfer fromBroadway–Lafayette Street to the uptown platform ofBleecker Street opened on September 25, 2012.^[8] A transfer to the downtown platform has existed since May 19, 1957.^[9][10] A passageway betweenCortlandt Street andWorld Trade Center opened on December 29, 2017, along with a connection to theWorld Trade Center Transportation Hub.^[11] A passageway between theTimes Square–42nd Street andPort Authority Bus Terminal station complex, and theBryant Park station complex, was built in 2021, along with a new platform at theshuttle station (both the platform and passageway are closed during late nights).^[12]

When the elevatedIRT Third Avenue Line closed from Chatham Square toSouth Ferry on December 22, 1950, a paper transfer was given to theM15 bus route. The Third Avenue Line was closed in Manhattan on May 12, 1955, removing this transfer.^{[citation needed]}

When the new "H" system was implemented on August 1, 1918, thePublic Service Commission was unprepared for the heavy traffic using the42nd Street Shuttle. The shuttle was closed for rebuilding at the end of August 3, and a paper transfer was added between Rector Street on theIRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line and Wall Street on theIRT Lexington Avenue Line (the only one of the two lines to go toBrooklyn at that time).^[21] Shuttle service resumed on September 28, 1918, but the transfer remained, and was expanded to allow transfers from Wall Street on the Brooklyn Branch of the Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line, its temporary end.^[22] After the Brooklyn Branch was completed on April 15, 1919, the transfer was no longer needed.^[23]

There was never a free transfer between theIRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line (outer) andIRT Lexington Avenue Line (inner) platforms at South Ferry. However, by 1960, night and weekend Lexington Avenue Line service (5 and6 trains) stopped at the outer platform. This unadvertised transfer existed until 1977, when Lexington Avenue Line trains stopped running to South Ferry.^[24]

Grand Central–42nd Street	Grand Central	IRT 42nd Street Shuttle	S	The subway station atGrand Central Terminal serves theIRT Lexington Avenue Line,IRT Flushing Line, andIRT 42nd Street Shuttle. Connections are closely integrated, since all three lines were operated by theInterborough Rapid Transit Company. The original station, opened on October 27, 1904, served only thefirst IRT subway, and is now the shuttle platform.[25] The Flushing Line station opened on June 22, 1915,[2] and the Lexington Avenue Line station on July 17, 1918,[26] each with direct connections to the existing station.[citation needed] The elevatedIRT Second Avenue Line was closed on June 13, 1942, and, starting the next day, a paper transfer[4] was available between the elevatedIRT Third Avenue Line and the Grand Central complex. This allowed passengers who had taken the Second Avenue Line over theQueensboro Bridge to instead use the Third Avenue Line to Lower Manhattan.[27] The Third Avenue Line closed on May 12, 1955, ending this transfer.[28]

Times Square–42nd Street/Port Authority Bus Terminal	Times Square	IRT 42nd Street Shuttle	S	AtTimes Square, a number of passageways connect theIRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line,IRT Flushing Line,IRT 42nd Street Shuttle, andBMT Broadway Line. A block-long passageway west to theIND Eighth Avenue Line is also insidefare control. The first transfer here was between theoriginal IRT subway (now the shuttle platform) and the Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line, opened on June 3, 1917, when the latter line opened as a shuttle to34th Street–Penn Station.[29] The Flushing Line was extended to Times Square on March 14, 1927,[30] and a passageway connecting the IRT and BMT was placed inside fare control on July 1, 1948.[4] The same was done with the connection to the Eighth Avenue Line in December 1988.[31] A passageway to the 42nd Street–Bryant Park station opened on September 7, 2021, along with a new platform at the shuttle station.[12] The new passageway is closed during late nights, when the shuttle doesn't operate.

Lexington Avenue/59th–63rd Streets	59th Street	IRT Lexington Avenue Line	4  ​  5  ​  6  <6>	The passageways between the Broadway Line and the upper-level local Lexington Avenue Line stations were placed insidefare control on July 1, 1948.[4] When the lower-level express Lexington Avenue platforms opened in 1962 to relieve congestion at theGrand Central–42nd Street transfer point, those platforms were connected to the local platforms and Broadway Line platforms above. AMetroCard out-of-system transfer to theIND 63rd Street Line was added on December 16, 2001, when theQueens section of that line was completed. Since theF had moved to the new line, there was no longer a direct transfer to the Lexington Avenue Line, and so this transfer was added with an above-ground walk, free for MetroCard users within two hours of the original boarding.[37][38] The cross-platform transfer between both theIND and BMT 63rd Street lines opened on January 1, 2017 with the opening of theSecond Avenue Subway.[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 thePolo Grounds (155th Street), between theIND Concourse Line andPolo Grounds Shuttle, was created on June 12, 1940, immediately after theIRT Ninth Avenue Line was closed south of 155th Street. It, along with the new transfer at161st Street–Yankee Stadium, allowed passengers who had taken the Ninth Avenue Line from theIRT Jerome Avenue Line inthe Bronx to use the IND Concourse Line andIND Eighth Avenue Line.^[41] The Polo Grounds Shuttle and the transfer were discontinued on August 31, 1958.^[42]

The first portion of theIRT White Plains Road Line opened on November 26, 1904 as a branch from the elevatedIRT Third Avenue Line north of 149th Street to180th Street–Bronx Park inWest Farms.^[43] It was connected into theoriginal IRT subway on July 10, 1905, and Third Avenue service was ended.^[44] Transfers were given at149th Street for passengers who wanted to change to Third Avenue, and transfers were added between the Manhattan-bound subway and the Third Avenue Line to the north on July 13 due to the "congestion and confusion" at that point. These transfers originally only applied to trains continuing in the same direction;^[45][46] by the 1920s, this transfer point had become very congested. A passageway insidefare control was opened on June 1, 1927 in the triangle bounded by 148th Street,Third Avenue, andWillis Avenue.^[47][48] The Third Avenue Line closed on April 28, 1973, ending the transfer.^[49]

TheIRT Dyre Avenue Line opened on May 15, 1941. At first, it did not connect directly to theIRT White Plains Road Line, and a transfer passageway (used by theNew York, Westchester and Boston Railway when the Dyre Avenue Line tracks were part of its operation) was placed insidefare control.^[50] A direct connection to the White Plains Road Line north of the station opened on May 6, 1957,^[51] and the old NYW&B station was closed.^{[citation needed]}

West Eighth Street–New York Aquarium	upper level	BMT Brighton Line	Q	Prior to the opening of the Culver Line in 1920, local Brighton Line trains used the lower level and express Brighton Line trains used the upper level. The transfer station commenced with the opening of the Culver Line on the lower level under theBrooklyn Rapid Transit Company (the predecessor to the BMT). Level usage varied over the years with different Brighton services using the lower level at different times. When the Culver Line passed from BMT to IND control in 1954, the transfer became inter-division. Shortly thereafter, the Brighton Line track connection to the lower level was severed, thereby allowing each line to have exclusive use of their own levels.

On October 30, 1954, a connection between theIND Brooklyn Line and theBMT Culver Line opened, and the Culver Line was transferred from BMT to IND control. Service through the new connection commenced, and the BMTCulver Shuttle was instituted between Ditmas Avenue andNinth Avenue, making Ditmas Avenue an inter-division transfer station. When the BMT Culver Shuttle ceased on May 11, 1975, the station was left to be served by the IND Culver Line only.

On March 5, 1944, when the elevatedBMT Myrtle Avenue Line was removed from theBrooklyn Bridge elevated tracks, and cut back fromPark Row to Bridge–Jay Streets, a paper transfer was added at Bridge–Jay Streets to theBrooklyn Bridge trolley lines, specifically theSmith Street Line,DeKalb Avenue Line, andSeventh Avenue Line.^[62] Bridge trolleys were discontinued on March 6, 1950, and the transfer was replaced with one to theIND Sixth Avenue Line. Manhattan-bound passengers received a transfer when boarding the Myrtle Avenue Line west ofBroadway, but Brooklyn-bound passengers could only get one when entering atBroadway – Nassau Street, near Park Row.^[63] In addition, similar trolley transfers were provided at High Street – Brooklyn Bridge, at the Brooklyn end of the bridge.^[64] The Myrtle Avenue Line west of Broadway closed on October 3, 1969,^[65] and the transfer was replaced with one to theB54 bus route, which ran under the line. The transfers at High Street – Brooklyn Bridge were discontinued at some point, but the B54 transfer remained for a long time.^{[citation needed]}

The shuttle was moved from Broadway Ferry toLorimer Street when theBMT Canarsie Line opened throughWilliamsburg on June 30, 1924, andBroadway Line streetcars were rerouted to the ferry. Later the transfer was to theMeeker Avenue Line, now part of theB24 bus route.^{[citation needed]}

A paper transfer^[4] was added at Rockaway Avenue between the temporary east end of the undergroundIND Fulton Street Line and the new west end of the elevatedBMT 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.^[66]

The lower level, serving the Jamaica Line, opened in 1888. The station became a transfer station when theMyrtle Avenue Elevated platform on the upper level opened in 1889. When Myrtle Avenue Line service west of this station ended in 1969, the upper level was abandoned and all Myrtle Avenue Line trains from the east merged onto the Jamaica Line tracks.
