Neat ticket!

From this website for the NY Historical Society, it appears that the tickets were sold with the intent to keep them as souvenirs, and decorative holders to hold/save the tickets were given away:

Interestingly enough, the MTA website, itself, has a slightly different ticket on its website for circa 1904.

Finally, as possibly a value gauge, a dual 1904 train-bus ticket is on ebay with a BIN of $475, albeit it's been listed for a long time at that price.
