NYC bus routes

Riding MTA buses

Buses cover all five boroughs: Manhattan, the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island. This page lists the 345 routes in the current MTA timetables, run by MTA New York City Transit (253 routes) and MTA Bus Company (92 routes). Route names start with their borough (M, Bx, B, Q, S); express routes start with BM, BxM, QM, SIM or X. Open a route for its stops, schedule and service alerts, then a stop for its next buses.

• Local, limited and rush buses: board at the front door and pay at the reader there.
• Select Bus Service (SBS): fewer stops, priority routes, boarding at all doors. Tap your card or phone on the OMNY reader at any door. Paying with a MetroCard or cash? Get a paper ticket at the sidewalk kiosk before boarding and keep it for the whole trip.
• Express buses look like coach buses, run between boroughs and board at the front door.
• Fares: $3 on subways and local, limited, rush and SBS buses; $7.25 on express buses. Transfers from a local bus to another local bus or the subway are free within two hours of paying. Details on our fares & OMNY page.
• Finding the stop: most stops have a tall round sign with a bus symbol and the route number.
