transitLines is not a current Borough search parameter.
This page is kept so older references resolve cleanly, but line-by-line transit filtering is not part of the live contract today.

Related: transit score
Instead of line filtering, you can filter by transit accessibility score:GET /v1/building/{id}/scores. The score is computed from MTA GTFS stop data based on:
- Proximity (50 points): distance to the nearest transit stop, whether subway, bus, commuter rail (LIRR/Metro-North), or ferry
- Density (50 points): number of stops within 400m radius
