Routes

Some of routes listed below are the direct descendants of streetcar lines (see List of streetcar lines on Long Island and in Queens), and most were privately operated prior to 1973.

Nassau Inter-County Express

NICE routes are designated on the buses, bus stop signs, and timetables with a lowercase "n". Previously, the routes were designated with an uppercase "N", akin to routes in larger bus systems surrounding the area.

Routes shown are for the full route except for branching. The n4, n6 and n40/41 provide service 24 hours a day; all other routes are daily service except late nights unless otherwise noted.

  • Roosevelt Field Mall note: All routes entering Roosevelt Field Mall from Old Country Road travel to/from points east via East Gate Boulevard, and to/from points west via Ring Road West.
  • Queens note: NICE routes to Jamaica and Flushing do not carry customers wholly within Queens except where noted.

Connections to New York City Subway stations at the bus routes' terminals are also listed where applicable.
