Is transfer pass same as boarding pass?

A boarding pass is a prepaid card you have to get on an urban transit system, usually a bus, subway, or ferry. A transfer pass is a card (or slip of paper) that you get as you leave a bus to be used to continue your journey on another bus, subway or ferry so you don't have to pay the fare again.
