List of express bus routes in New York City

Add article description


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.

A SIM31 express bus terminates at the Eltingville Transit Center in Eltingville, Staten Island.

The unidirectional fare, payable with MetroCard or OMNY, a contactless payment system which will replace the MetroCard by 2024, 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

The SIM1 route (pictured) replaced the X1 route on August 19, 2018.

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.

Proposed routes under the Brooklyn Bus Redesign

The MTA released a draft plan for Brooklyn's bus network redesign on December 1, 2022.[57][58] 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:[59]

  • 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.[125][126] 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.[127]:24 The final redesign was initially expected in mid- or late 2020,[125][126] but the first draft attracted overwhelmingly negative feedback, with 11,000 comments about the plans.[128] The redesign was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in New York City.[129] Planning resumed in mid-2021.[130][131]

The original draft plan was dropped,[132] and a revised plan with 85 routes was released on March 29, 2022.[128] The new plan retains the "QM" prefix and preserves most of the existing routes.[128] Most of the bus routes have relatively minor changes:[133]:46

  • 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.[133] This change was reversed in the final plan,[134] released in December 2023.[135][136]

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.[186]:3 As a result, these routes were circuitous, redundant, and infrequent.[186]:14–16 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.[186]:20,21,23 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.[187][188] 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.[29]:188–189 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.[29]:191[189] 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 are expected to be revamped and renamed sometime between 2019 and 2021.[190]

Caravan Bus Systems (temporary operation)

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. Caravan Bus Systems Inc. picked up these routes due to equipment shortages and budget cuts with the approval of the NYCDOT. Caravan Bus Systems Inc. ran the QM1 Wall Street and QM3 with no subsidy from NYC and returned the lines to Queens Surface Corp. in 1990 after protest from Queens elected officials who were afraid that Caravan Bus Systems Inc. would discontinue the routes after Caravan Bus Systems Inc. lost money on the routes and was refused the city subsidy that these routes got under Queens/Steinway Transit Corp. prior to Queens Surface taking over the routes on July 1, 1988.
