Add article description


Suffolk County Transit operates numerous bus routes in Suffolk County, New York, United States; a few in the town of Huntington are operated by Huntington Area Rapid Transit. The Villages of Patchogue and Port Jefferson, also have had their own local jitney bus routes, although budget cuts have forced these villages to take its buses out of service.[citation needed] Some of them are descendants of streetcar lines (see List of streetcar lines on Long Island).

Suffolk County Transit (SCT)

On October 29, 2023, Suffolk Transit introduced the Reimagine Transit Initiative,[1] a full redesign of the bus network. As part of this redesign, there is daily service system-wide with local buses running weekdays until 10 p.m. and to 8 or 9 p.m. on weekends.

All current routes

Most routes west of Port Jefferson and Patchogue are scheduled with 30 minute headways (60 minutes on routes 3, 10 and 15) during weekdays until at least 6:00 p.m. On all routes from Port Jefferson and Patchogue and to the east, including the north-south routes between those two terminals, there are 60 minute headways (except for 30 minutes on routes 51 and 66). All weekday late evening and weekend service runs on 60 minute headways. Route numbers (not including 110) are lower in the western portion of the county (1 through 17) and higher in the middle and eastern portions (51 through 92). Odd-numbered routes are generally oriented north to south, with even numbers west to east. Timed connections between routes can be made at Long Island Rail Road stations in Amityville, Brentwood, Central Islip, Patchogue, and Riverhead, in Bay Shore and at the Smith Haven Mall.

Routes 10B and 10C are temporary hold overs from the previous system due to a manufacturer vehicle recall. These routes will be replaced on April 28 by the East Hampton - Montauk On-Demand Zone.[2]

History of current routes

These current routes, which became active on October 29, 2023, are replacements and reconfigurations of the previous routes that were prefixed with an “S” label, although more localized routes did not have the prefix. The prefix denoted Suffolk County, akin to route labeling in other transit systems around the region. See further down in this article for historical information about all of the former routes. The routes listed in this table replaced all the previous routes on October 29, 2023.[2]
