Deucey Posted October 25, 2018 Share #1 Posted October 25, 2018 So I know that if I swipe into the subway and then try again in the same station within 18 minutes my card's rejected. If I go to a different station within that 18 minutes, sometimes it works; sometimes I have to wait the 18 minutes. But why is it that if I swipe for a quick trip on the bus - S40/44 for example - to get donuts at Richmond/Lafayette, my card's rejected for the return trip (10 minutes later)?

Probably the same bus #. I always use a different route where possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B35 via Church Posted October 25, 2018 Share #3 Posted October 25, 2018 10 < 18 ? In other words, I believe that 18 min. window holds true for buses as well..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But why have that rule for reverse trips? If someone's only riding for 5 minutes then going back the same way 5 minutes later, why should they have to pay fare when they have an unlimited card?

I've had the same issue with the Q46. I take it one direction, make a quick stop, and get on the bus in the other direction, and the buses are correctly signed and everything. Usually it is fine but sometimes I get the "just used" error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
