Bijur J.
Plaintiff, at Thirty-fourth street and Fourth avenue, boarded a south bound Fourth avenue ear without noticing whether it was a short or long service car. He asked the conductor for a Delancey street transfer and a transfer was given to him. At Eighth street and Fourth avenue (not Astor place and Broadway), the conductor “ asked the passengers to get off the car and go further south where they wanted to go.” Plaintiff then boarded the next car which was a Williamsburg’ bridge car of the Fourth avenue line. He was told the transfer was not good, refused to leave and was put off.
