The New York City Subway is a rapid transit system that serves four of the five boroughs of New York City

in the U.S. state of New York

: the Bronx

, Brooklyn

, Manhattan

, and Queens

. The system was created from the consolidation of three separate companies that merged in 1940: the Interborough Rapid Transit Company (IRT), the Brooklyn–Manhattan Transit Corporation (BMT), and the Independent Subway System (IND). The 468 stations of the New York City Subway are enumerated as they existed as part of one of the former systems. Thus, many individual transfer station are not counted as one station, but as two or more stations, and are called "station complexes". When these station complexes are considered to be one station each, the count of stations is 423.

Transfers between subway lines are not limited to enclosed passageways. The New York City Transit Authority (NYCTA), manager of the New York City Subway, also offers limited free transfer between subway lines that allow passengers to reenter the system's fare control. This was originally done through a paper ticketing system before it was replaced by the MetroCard. 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. The Rockaway Parkway

station on the BMT Canarsie Line ( service) offers a transfer to the B42 bus within the station's fare control, the only such transfer within the NYCTA. Transfers are also available between multiple services that operate on a single line. These transfers are not included in this article, although these are also transfer stations; see List of New York City Subway stations.

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 at Grand Central–42nd Street

between the IRT Flushing Line and the original IRT subway (now served by the IRT 42nd Street Shuttle), which opened on June 22, 1915. Some stations were constructed with passageways that connected different systems, such as the original IRT subway's (now IRT Lexington Avenue Line) Brooklyn Bridge

station with the BMT Centre Street Loop Subway's (now BMT Nassau Street Line) Chambers Street

station. 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. The most recently created transfer station is the South Ferry – Whitehall Street

complex of the BMT Broadway Line and the IRT Broadway – Seventh Avenue Line; opened on March 16, 2009.

Former transfers

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. The Third Avenue Line was closed in Manhattan on May 12, 1955, removing this transfer.

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. The shuttle was closed for rebuilding at the end of August 3, and a paper transfer was added between Rector Street on the IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line and Wall Street on the IRT Lexington Avenue Line (the only one of the two lines to go to Brooklyn

at that time). 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. After the Brooklyn Branch was completed on April 15, 1919, the transfer was no longer needed.

There was never a free transfer between the IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line (outer) and IRT Lexington Avenue Line (inner) platforms at South Ferry. However, by 1960, night and weekend Lexington Avenue Line service (5 and 6) stopped at the outer platform. This unadvertised transfer existed until 1977, when Lexington Avenue Line trains stopped running to South Ferry.

Grand Central–42nd Street	Grand Central	IRT 42nd Street Shuttle		The subway station at Grand Central Terminal serves the IRT Lexington Avenue Line, IRT Flushing Line, and IRT 42nd Street Shuttle. Connections are closely integrated, since all three lines were operated by the Interborough Rapid Transit Company. The original station, opened on October 27, 1904, served only the first IRT subway, and is now the shuttle platforms. The Flushing Line station opened on June 22, 1915,New York Times, Steinway Tunnel Will Open Today, June 22, 1915, page 10 and the Lexington Avenue Line station on July 17, 1918, each with direct connections to the existing station. The elevated IRT Second Avenue Line was closed on June 13, 1942, and, starting the next day, a paper transfer was available between the elevated IRT Third Avenue Line and the Grand Central complex. This allowed passengers who had taken the Second Avenue Line over the Queensboro Bridge to instead use the Third Avenue Line to Lower Manhattan. The Third Avenue Line closed on May 12, 1955, ending this transfer.

Lexington Avenue / 59th–63rd Streets	59th Street	IRT Lexington Avenue Line		The passageway between the IRT Lexington Avenue Line and BMT Broadway Line stations was placed inside fare control on July 1, 1948. A MetroCard transfer to the IND 63rd Street Line was added on December 16, 2001, when the Queens section of that line was completed. Since the F 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.

Former transfers

A paper transfer 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. It, along with the new transfer at 161st Street–Yankee Stadium

, allowed passengers who had taken the Ninth Avenue Line from the IRT Jerome Avenue Line in the Bronx

to use the IND Concourse Line and IND Eighth Avenue Line. The Polo Grounds Shuttle and the transfer were discontinued on August 31, 1958.

Future transfers

A transfer at this station will open when the first phase of the Second Avenue Subway is completed and in operation. The will connect with the extended Q via a cross-platform interchange.

Former transfers

The first portion of the White Plains Road Line opened on November 26, 1904 as a branch from the elevated IRT Third Avenue Line north of 149th Street to 180th Street – Bronx Park in West Farms

. It was connected into the original IRT subway on July 10, 1905, and Third Avenue service was ended. Transfers were given at 149th 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; by the 1920s, this transfer point had become very congested. A passageway inside fare control was opened on June 1, 1927 in the triangle bounded by 148th Street, Third Avenue, and Willis Avenue. The Third Avenue Line closed on April 28, 1973, ending the transfer.

The IRT Dyre Avenue Line opened on May 15, 1941. At first, it did not connect directly to the IRT White Plains Road Line, and a transfer passageway (used by the New York, Westchester and Boston Railway when the Dyre Avenue Line tracks were part of its operation) was placed inside fare control. A direct connection to the White Plains Road Line north of the station opened on May 6, 1957, and the old NYW&B station was closed.

West Eighth Street – New York Aquarium	upper level	BMT Brighton Line		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 the Brooklyn 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.
West Eighth Street – New York Aquarium	lower level	IND Culver Line

Former transfers

On October 30, 1954, a connection between the IND Brooklyn Line and the BMT Culver Line opened, and the Culver Line was transferred from BMT to IND control. Service through the new connection commenced, and the BMT Culver Shuttle was instituted between Ditmas Avenue and Ninth 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 elevated BMT Myrtle Avenue Line was removed from the Brooklyn Bridge elevated tracks, and cut back from Park Row

to Bridge–Jay Streets, a paper transfer was added at Bridge–Jay Streets to the Brooklyn Bridge trolley lines, specifically the Smith Street Line, DeKalb Avenue Line, and Seventh Avenue Line. Bridge trolleys were discontinued on March 6, 1950, and the transfer was replaced with one to the IND Sixth Avenue Line. Manhattan-bound passengers received a transfer when boarding the Myrtle Avenue Line west of Broadway

, but Brooklyn-bound passengers could only get one when entering at Broadway–Nassau Street, near Park Row. In addition, similar trolley transfers were provided at High Street–Brooklyn Bridge, at the Brooklyn end of the bridge. The Myrtle Avenue Line west of Broadway closed on October 3, 1969, and the transfer was replaced with one to the B54 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.

When the Broadway Elevated spur to Broadway Ferry closed to passengers on July 2, 1916, a paper transfer was added to the Broadway Ferry Shuttle streetcar line. The shuttle was moved from Broadway Ferry to Lorimer Street

when the BMT Canarsie Line opened through Williamsburg

on June 30, 1924, and Broadway Line streetcars were rerouted to the ferry. Later the transfer was to the Meeker Avenue Line, now part of the B24 bus route.

Notice of free transfers at Rockaway Avenue

A paper transfer 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. When the BMT Fulton Street Line was closed east of Rockaway Avenue on April 27, 1956, these transfers were discontinued.

The BMT Canarsie Line on the surface south of Rockaway Parkway became a streetcar line on October 26, 1917 with a free transfer to the Canarsie Line. On November 21, 1942, the private right-of-way was closed, and the transfer was instead given to the Rockaway Parkway Line, now the B42 bus route. The streetcars, later buses, stopped inside fare control.
