an omnibus line facility operated by the authority [and no].  NO general
revision  of  the  system of transfers applicable to the use of all such

payable  for  the  use  of  a  rapid transit facility or an omnibus line
facility or of any part thereof varies according to distance traveled or
to the location of the point of entry or departure by the user, but  the
creation or elimination of free transfer points shall not be regarded as
the institution of such a system.
  S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
