Transfer (public transit)

A transfer allows the rider of a public transportation vehicle who pays for a single-trip fare to continue the trip on another bus or train.^[1] Depending on the network, there may or may not be an additional fee for the transfer.^[2] Historically, transfers may have been stamped or hole-punched with the time, date, and direction of travel to prevent their use for a return trip. More recently, magnetic or barcoded tickets may be recorded (as on international flights) or ticket barriers may only charge on entry and exit to a larger system (as on modern underground rail networks).

Fare cards will reduce or eliminate the need for transfers as the holder can validate a change in the direction of travel.
