List of express bus routes in New York City explained

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) operates 80 express bus routes in New York City, United States. Express routes operated by MTA Bus Company are assigned multi-borough (BM, BxM, QM) prefixes. MTA New York City Bus operates seven of the express routes in Brooklyn and Queens, which are prefixed with the letter X, as well as all express routes in Staten Island, which are prefixed with the letters SIM.

The unidirectional fare, payable with MetroCard or OMNY, a contactless payment system, is $7. Discount fare media is available. Except for the ad hoc X80 service, coins are not accepted on express buses.

Express buses operate using over-the-road diesel-powered, 45-ft-long coaches, from Motor Coach Industries and Prevost Car. For more information, visit the fleet page.

Manhattan to Staten Island

Most routes travel to and from Staten Island via the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge, Gowanus Expressway, and Hugh L. Carey Tunnel into Lower Manhattan. Some routes operate through New Jersey via the Goethals Bridge, New Jersey Turnpike, New Jersey Route 495, and Lincoln Tunnel to directly serve Midtown Manhattan.

On August 19, 2018, all of the Staten Island-Manhattan express bus routes were redesigned to offer simpler and direct routes, fewer stops to speed up the trips, and additional service for off-peak hours and weekends. The new routes originally planned consists of 21 express routes: 11 traveling to Midtown, 8 traveling to Downtown and 2 traveling to Greenwich Village via Battery Park City. The previously used "X" routes have been dropped in favor of "SIM," or Staten Island to Manhattan, routes. This was the result of the two-year Staten Island Bus Study conducted by MTA, launched in 2015, which analyzed trip performance data, ridership profiles and extensive customer input, to determine the most effective way to reconfigure the network.^{[1] [2]}

All routes are operated by New York City Transit. All routes run during rush hours in the peak direction. In addition, the SIM1C, SIM3C, SIM4C and SIM33C provide off-peak weekday and weekend service, and the SIM1C provides overnight service. These four -C routes cover most stops in Manhattan served by other routes during peak hours.

Manhattan to Brooklyn

X- routes are operated by New York City Transit, while BM-routes are operated by MTA Bus Company. All routes operate nonstop between Brooklyn and Manhattan via the Gowanus Expressway or Prospect Expressway to the Hugh L. Carey Tunnel, with some routes continuing non-stop via the FDR Drive to reach Midtown. The exception to this is the BM5, which also makes stops in Queens and uses Woodhaven Boulevard, the Long Island Expressway and Queens Midtown Tunnel to reach Midtown.

History and notes

Route	History
X27	Rush Hour service terminates at Thomas Street or 23rd Street All weekend service terminates at 57th Street Service began on January 3, 1972 as the B27X as the first express bus route between Manhattan and Brooklyn, was renumbered X27 in 1976 Stop at Battery Place and Greenwich Street added in 1981^[27] In January 2000, the MTA announced plans to reroute northbound X27, X28, and X29 to run directly via Greenwich Street and Trinity Place after exiting the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel, instead of running via a 0.5miles-long loop consisting of West Street, Battery Place, Greenwich Street, and Trinity Place. The reroute would eliminate three left turns and the need to travel through two traffic lights. While making the loop normally took about five minutes, it could take 15 minutes or longer under heavy traffic congestion. Service to the Greenwich Street and Battery Place bus stop, used by 475 people per weekday, or 11 percent of all Manhattan-bound riders on the three routes would be discontinued. The change, which would take effect the same month, was expected to save $20,000 a year. This change had been implemented successfully on the X1 and X14 bus routes.^[28] The change took effect in February 2000. In July 2000, the MTA announced plans to reverse the change for northbound X1, X12, X27, X28, and X29 service during morning peak periods due to the planned extension of the Gowanus Expressway High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) Lane through the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel during the morning peak period between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m.. The change would be made since the extension of the HOV lane would prevent vehicles from moving between the left and right tubes within the toll plaza at the entrance to the tunnel, meaning buses using the HOV lane would no longer be able to exit on Trinity Place. To address the fact that the reroute would restore the congested through loop, MTA Bridges and Tunnels planned to place police officers and traffic agents at key locations to regulate traffic flow. The change, which would take effect in late July 2000, was expected to increase annual operating costs by $32,000.^[29] Weekend service added September 2002^[30]
X28	Seagate served part-time in the peak direction and late nights only; service terminates at Thomas Street or 23rd Street All weekend service terminates at 57th Street In January 2000, the MTA announced plans to reroute northbound X27, X28, and X29 to run directly via Greenwich Street and Trinity Place after exiting the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel, instead of running via a 0.5miles-long loop consisting of West Street, Battery Place, Greenwich Street, and Trinity Place. The reroute would eliminate three left turns and the need to travel through two traffic lights.

The change, which would take effect in late July 2000, was expected to increase annual operating costs by $32,000. Formerly terminated at Cropsey Avenue and Bay 49th Street in Brooklyn Weekend service added September 2002 and eliminated June 2010-September 2016 due to budget crisis^[31] Originally B28X in 1971, then renumbered as the X28 in 1976. Overnight service began on May 6, 2020 due to the overnight subway shutdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic; discontinued on June 28, 2020 due to low ridership.
X37 X38	No weekend service No stops in Manhattan south of 23rd Street Temporarily eliminated June 2010-July 2011 due to budget crisis^[32]
BM1 BM2 BM3 BM4	No overnight or Sunday service Midtown service via Downtown area operates all day Downtown-only and Midtown express services operate weekday peak rush hours only BM1 service began on July 10, 1972, running from Avenue U and Bergen Avenue to Madison Avenue and 56th Street.^[33] BM1, BM2, BM3 operated by Pioneer Bus until 1979, BM4 began operating on July 16, 1984; all routes then operated by Command Bus Company until 2005^[34] BM2 extended to Starrett City from Canarsie in October 1974^[35] Overnight BM2 and BM3 service began on May 6, 2020 due to the overnight subway shutdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. BM3 overnight service discontinued on June 28, 2020 due to low ridership.
BM5	Operated by Pioneer Bus until 1979, Command Bus Company 1979-2005 Formerly made only one stop in Queens, at 79th Street in Lindenwood;^[36] expanded service along Woodhaven and Cross Bay Boulevards began April 2010 Renumbered from BQM1 on July 16, 2007.

Proposed routes under the Brooklyn Bus Redesign

The MTA released a draft plan for Brooklyn's bus network redesign on December 1, 2022.^{[37] [38]} The new plan retains the "BM" prefix and preserves all existing routes. The BM1, BM2, BM3, BM4, X27/X37, and X28/X38 will each be split into three routes: a rush-hour downtown route, a rush-hour midtown route, and an off-peak downtown and midtown route. In general, the revised plan includes the following changes:^[39]

• All routes with the X prefix will be relabeled with the BM prefix; i.e. the X27, X28, X37, and X38 will become the BM7, BM8, BM37, and BM38 respectively.
• All peak downtown routes will have a single-digit number (e.g. BM1).
• All peak midtown routes will have a double-digit number beginning in 3 (e.g. BM31).
• All off-peak downtown and midtown routes will have a single-digit number and the suffix "C" (e.g. BM1C).

Proposed new bus routes under the Queens Bus Redesign

In December 2019, the MTA released a draft redesign of the Queens bus network redesign with 77 routes. The routes were given a "QMT" label to avoid confusion with existing routes. The "QMT" prefix was tentative; in the final plan, all bus routes would have been labeled with "QM", similar to the existing routes.^[100] The final redesign was initially expected in mid- or late 2020,^{[101] [102]} but the first draft attracted overwhelmingly negative feedback, with 11,000 comments about the plans. The redesign was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in New York City.^[103] Planning resumed in mid-2021.^{[104] [105]}

The original draft plan was dropped,^[106] and a revised plan with 85 routes was released on March 29, 2022.^[107] The new plan retains the "QM" prefix and preserves most of the existing routes.^[107] Most of the bus routes have relatively minor changes:^[108]

• The X63, X64, and X68 will be renamed the QM63, QM64, and QM68 respectively.
• One new express route is planned: the QM65 from Lower Manhattan to Laurelton.
• The QM3 will be eliminated due to low ridership.
• The QM10 and QM40 will become the QM11, QM12, and QM42.

In the second draft plan, all Queens-bound express buses were supposed to use the Long Island Expressway; some of the existing routes used Queens Boulevard or Northern Boulevard.^[108] This change was reversed in the final plan,^[109] released in December 2023.^{[110] [111]}

Former routes

New York City Transit

Staten Island Express routes

Most X routes were discontinued between 2010 and 2018 due to budget cuts and a reimagining of the bus network.

In 2015, the MTA began a comprehensive study of express bus lines on Staten Island. These lines had not been drastically changed since the 1980s, and as a result, they had been updated piece-by-piece. As a result, these routes were circuitous, redundant, and infrequent. The MTA proposed replacing all of the existing express bus routes with simpler and shorter variants, a proposal supported by 76% of Staten Island residents who had learned about the study.^[150] In March 2018, after hosting several meetings with Staten Island residents, the MTA announced that express bus service to Staten Island was expected to be completely reorganized in August 2018.^{[151] [152]} As part of the redesign, all of the existing bus routes would be discontinued and replaced with new routes with a "SIM" prefix on August 19, 2018.^[153] The "SIM" prefix was chosen to reduce confusion with the "X"-prefixed routes they replaced, but deviate from the "S" prefix used by local Staten Island bus routes.^{[153] [154]} The routes that were discontinued prior to August 18, 2018 were: X6, X13, X16, X18, X20, X21 (first use), and X30 (first use).

The remaining X routes were expected to be revamped and renamed sometime between 2019 and 2021.^[155]

X1* ^[156]	Midtown Central Park South and 7th Avenue	Eltingville Transit Center	6th Avenue (NB), 5th Avenue, Broadway (SB), Hylan Boulevard, Richmond Avenue	Daily service. Operated all times. Peak-hour service started/ended at 23rd Street in Manhattan. In March 2000, it was announced that off-peak and weekend X1, X10, and X17 service would run directly out of the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel onto Greenwich Street and Trinity Place instead of looping via West Street, Battery Place, Greenwich Street, and Trinity Place, as was done by peak period service. The reroute would eliminate three left turns and the need to travel through two traffic lights. While making the loop normally took about five minutes, it could take 15 minutes or longer under heavy traffic congestion. Service to the Greenwich Street and Battery Place bus stop, used by only 0.5 percent of all weekend riders, would be discontinued. The changes, which were to be implemented in June 2000, were estimated to save $25,000 a year.^[157] In July 2000, the MTA announced plans to reroute northbound X1, X12, X27, X28, and X29 service during morning peak periods from running directly out of the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel onto Greenwich Street and Trinity Place to instead loop via West Street, Battery Place, Greenwich Street, and Trinity Place due to the planned extension of the Gowanus Expressway High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) Lane through the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel during the morning peak period between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m.. The change would be made since the extension of the HOV lane would prevent vehicles from moving between the left and right tubes within the toll plaza at the entrance to the tunnel, meaning buses using the HOV lane would no longer be able to exit on Trinity Place. To address the fact that the reroute would restore the congested through loop, MTA Bridges and Tunnels planned to place police officers and traffic agents at key locations to regulate traffic flow. The change, which would take effect in late July 2000, was expected to increase annual operating costs by $32,000. Overnight express service started on January 20, 2013.^[158] Originally numbered R13X in 1972, then X13 in 1976.

Peak hour trips (X10B) operated via West Street at World Financial Center in Lower Manhattan instead of Broadway and Church Street. Battery Park service replaced by X11. Service on Narrows Road provided by the X14 during peak hours, when the X10 did not stop there. Service began as the R10X on August 5, 1970, running between Castleton Avenue and Jewett Avenue and Broadway and Park Place. Buses left Staten Island at 7:30, 7:45, and 8 a.m., and left Manhattan at 4:45, 5, and 5:15 p.m.^[163] Became X10 in 1976 In September 1994, two non-revenue trips were converted to revenue trips, providing one reverse commute trip in the AM from Manhattan and on in the PM to Manhattan to serve the College of Staten Island.^[164] On January 17, 1998, an early Saturday morning trip toward Manhattan leaving Jewett at 6:30 a.m. was added. Service continued running hourly from 7:00 a.m. to 9 p.m.^[165] In March 2000, it was announced that off-peak and weekend X1, X10, and X17 service would run directly out of the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel onto Greenwich Street and Trinity Place instead of looping via West Street, Battery Place, Greenwich Street, and Trinity Place, as was done by peak period service. The reroute would eliminate three left turns and the need to travel through two traffic lights. While making the loop normally took about five minutes, it could take 15 minutes or longer under heavy traffic congestion. Service to the Greenwich Street and Battery Place bus stop, used by only 0.5 percent of all weekend riders, would be discontinued. The time savings would allow off-peak (9:15 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. toward Manhattan, and from 8:20 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and from 7:30 p.m. to 12:20 a.m. to Staten Island) and weekend X10 buses to serve four stops along Narrows Road in Staten Island which were only served in peak periods by the X13, X14, and X16. Buses would run along Narrows Road instead of the Staten Island Expressway between Clove Road and the Verrazano–Narrows Bridge toll plaza. The changes, which were to be implemented in June 2000, were estimated to save $25,000 a year.
X11	Tribeca Worth Street and Broadway	Travis Wild Avenue and Victory Boulevard	Church Street (NB), Broadway (SB), Gannon Avenue, Victory Boulevard	Peak service only In February 1999, the MTA announced plans to extend the route along Victory Boulevard from Roswell Avenue to Wild Avenue, which was the terminal of the S62 and the S92. The extension was estimated to cost $5,000 a year, and was expected to generate $4,500 a year in revenue. The change would take effect in March 1999.^[166]
X12 X42 ^[167]	West Midtown West 57th Street and 11th Avenue	Mariners Harbor South Avenue and Richmond Terrace	57th Street, 6th Avenue, Madison Avenue (NB), 5th Avenue, Broadway (SB), Victory Boulevard, Watchogue Road, Port Richmond Avenue, Forest Avenue, South Avenue	Peak service only. During the height of the rush hour, X12 trips ended at 23rd Street, while X42 trips acted as midtown super-express service (via the FDR Drive & 23rd Street instead of 6th Avenue/Broadway). In July 2000, the MTA announced plans to reroute northbound X1, X12, X27, X28, and X29 service during morning peak periods from running directly out of the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel onto Greenwich Street and Trinity Place to instead loop via West Street, Battery Place, Greenwich Street, and Trinity Place due to the planned extension of the Gowanus Expressway High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) Lane through the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel during the morning peak period between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m..

Replaced the X17C in the peak direction for downtown service to and from Annadale. All X17 trips (A, C, and J) served the Eltingville Transit Center. On June 1, 2009, afternoon trips were extended from Annadale Road and Drumgoole Road West to Annadale Road and Arthur Kill Road, adding three stops. The change was made to formalize the route and reduce confusion.^[171]
X17C	Midtown East 57th Street and 3rd Avenue	Huguenot Woodrow Road and Huguenot Avenue	6th Avenue, Madison Avenue (NB), 5th Avenue, Broadway (SB), Richmond Avenue, Drumgoole Road, Huguenot Avenue	Service began as the R17X on July 2, 1973, connecting Midtown and Lower Manhattan with the South Shore of Staten Island. Buses left every 15 minutes from Huguenot Avenue and Carlton Court to Broadway and Duane Street between 6:45 a.m. and 7:45 a.m.. Return buses left at 4:27, 4:40, 4:53, 5:06, and 5:26 p.m.. 13 stops were made on Staten Island. Service ran via Arden Avenue, Arthur Kill Rod, Richmond Avenue, Victory Boulevard, the Staten Island Expressway, the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, Gowanus Expressway, the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel, Church Street, Worth Street, and Broadway. Two buses left Staten Island at 6:55 a.m. and 7:20 a.m., heading nonstop to Third Avenue and 57th Street, returning leaving at 4:44 p.m. and 5:05 p.m.. These buses ran via the East River Drive, 42nd Street, Madison Avenue, 57th Street, and Third Avenue.^[172] ^[173] Became X17 in 1976 No service during peak hours in the peak direction Peak direction service replaced by X17A, X17J, X19, X22, X22A, and X24 during these hours. In March 2000, it was announced that off-peak and weekend X1, X10, and X17 service would run directly out of the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel onto Greenwich Street and Trinity Place instead of looping via West Street, Battery Place, Greenwich Street, and Trinity Place, as was done by peak period service. The reroute would eliminate three left turns and the need to travel through two traffic lights. While making the loop normally took about five minutes, it could take 15 minutes or longer under heavy traffic congestion. Service to the Greenwich Street and Battery Place bus stop, used by only 0.5 percent of all weekend riders, would be discontinued. The changes, which were to be implemented in June 2000, were estimated to save $25,000 a year. In June 2001, the MTA announced plans to approve a plan to extend the span of weekday X17 service from 8:20 p.m. until 11:30 p.m. since the last two trips were almost at complete capacity, which suggested there was demand for later service. The change was scheduled to be implemented in September 2001. The service span increase was expected to cost $200,000 a year.^[174] Weekends, all X17 trips served Bay Ridge, Brooklyn (to and from Manhattan only). This was done simultaneously with the introduction of Sunday service on September 30, 2012. Sunday service was made permanent in January 2014. Adding this service cost $300,000 annually.^[175] All X17 trips (A, C, and J) served the Eltingville Transit Center. Extended to Tottenville during off-peak weekdays via Outerbridge Park and Ride in January 2013.

Began service on June 3, 1991.^[191] Service initially ran an into Manhattan via the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, the Gowanus Expressway, and the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel. A stop was made at West Street and Vesey Street, and service continued up West Street. AM service turned onto 11th Avenue, 23rd Street, and then up Madison Avenue and then 57th Street to the terminal at Third Avenue. In the PM, service started at Park Avenue and 57th Street, then went south on Lexington Avenue, west on 23rd Street, before heading on Seventh Avenue and West Houston Street, before joining up with the AM route at West Street. AM trips ran via the Gowanus Expressway, PM trips ran via Lincoln Tunnel, New Jersey Turnpike and the Goethals Bridge. On April 1, 1996, morning buses were rerouted via New Jersey to save up to 40 minutes in travel time and the route was extended 1.8miles from Marsh Avenue to the Richmond Avenue turnaround. The changes were made in response to a competing express bus route set up by a private bus operator on February 5, 1996, which already ran via New Jersey. A free transfer was instituted to make up for the loss of service to Lower Manhattan at Vesey Street. After three months, the changes increased ridership by 20%, making up most of the ridership lost to the competing bus company.^[192] Operated via Lincoln Tunnel in both directions until March 20, 2006, when buses were rerouted via the Staten Island and Gowanus Expressways and West Street. This was following the opening of the Staten Island Expressway bus lane in November 2005.^[193]

Buses made two trips in the morning rush to Brooklyn, and two trips in the evening rush from Brooklyn. The service ran express between Clove Road and Richmond Road and Adams Street and Fulton Street. The fare at the time was 30 cents.^[196] ^[197] First express bus route to link Staten Island with Downtown Brooklyn. Renumbered the X8. On November 2, 1989, a proposal was held to discontinue service on the route due to low ridership. An average of 16 riders used the route per day in either direction.^[198] The route made its last trip on April 13, 1990, and was discontinued on April 15, 1990. It was estimated that discontinuing the route would save $71,000 a year. Before it was discontinued, there was only one trip in each direction.^[199] Service was discontinued in early 1990 due to low ridership.

Original terminal was West 5th Street and Sea Breeze Avenue (near Surf Avenue); later extended to Surf Avenue & West 37th Street (at Sea Gate),^[211] then truncated to Stillwell Avenue. In January 2000, the MTA announced plans to reroute northbound X27, X28, and X29 to run directly via Greenwich Street and Trinity Place after exiting the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel, instead of running via a 0.5miles-long loop consisting of West Street, Battery Place, Greenwich Street, and Trinity Place. The reroute would eliminate three left turns and the need to travel through two traffic lights. While making the loop normally took about five minutes, it could take 15 minutes or longer under heavy traffic congestion. Service to the Greenwich Street and Battery Place bus stop, used by 475 people per weekday, or 11 percent of all Manhattan-bound riders on the three routes would be discontinued. The change, which would take effect the same month, was expected to save $20,000 a year. This change had been implemented successfully on the X1 and X14 bus routes. The change took effect in February 2000. In July 2000, the MTA announced plans to reverse the change for northbound X1, X12, X27, X28, and X29 service during morning peak periods due to the planned extension of the Gowanus Expressway High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) Lane through the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel during the morning peak period between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m.. The change would be made since the extension of the HOV lane would prevent vehicles from moving between the left and right tubes within the toll plaza at the entrance to the tunnel, meaning buses using the HOV lane would no longer be able to exit on Trinity Place. To address the fact that the reroute would restore the congested through loop, MTA Bridges and Tunnels planned to place police officers and traffic agents at key locations to regulate traffic flow. The change, which would take effect in late July 2000, was expected to increase annual operating costs by $32,000. Discontinued on June 27, 2010 due to a budget crisis.

From late 1988 to early 1990, Queens Surface Corporation discontinued the QM1 Wall Street and QM3 after the City of New York pulled its funding for the service.
