The free transfer is between bus & bus or bus & subway, but not subway
& subway.

You just can't get back on the same bus line (even in the opposite
direction), and there's a 2-hour limit on using it (from when you
first swiped your card).

To be clear, if you pay exact fare ($2.25) with coins on a bus, you may
ask for an encoded transfer that is good on another bus on a different
route (see below), no transfer to the subway. Most subway stations that
intersect allow you to transfer from one line to another, without
leaving the fare control areas.

Bus-bus transfer note: some routes share the same main
streets/avenues, especially in Manhattan, for some of these the
bus-bus transfer is *NOT* good in either direction between these routes.
