All local buses are operated by the New York City Transit Authority, except for the Bx23, which is operated by the MTA Bus Company.

2020s redesign

As part of the MTA's 2017 Fast Forward Plan to speed up mass transit service, a draft plan for a reorganization of Bronx bus routes was proposed in draft format in June 2019, with a final version published in October 2019.[138] Many of the draft proposals were not included in the final version. These changes were set to take effect in mid-2020.[139][140] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the implementation of the bus redesign was postponed by two years.[141][142][143] The Bx28 and Bx34 routes were originally proposed to be modified as well, but those changes were reverted in late 2021.[143][144] The redesign took effect on June 26, 2022.[145][146][147]

Prior to the change, buses displayed signs showing both old and new numbers to simplify the change. The changes were as follows:[154]
