List of bus routes in Brooklyn

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) operates a number of bus routes in Brooklyn, New York, United States; one minor route is privately operated under a city franchise. Many of them are the direct descendants of streetcar lines (see list of streetcar lines in Brooklyn); the ones that started out as bus routes were almost all operated by the Brooklyn Bus Corporation, a subsidiary of the Brooklyn–Manhattan Transit Corporation, until the New York City Board of Transportation took over on June 5, 1940. Of the 55 local Brooklyn routes operated by the New York City Transit Authority, roughly 35 are the direct descendants of one or more streetcar lines, and most of the others were introduced in full or in part as new bus routes by the 1930s. Only the B32, the eastern section of the B82 (then the B50), the B83, and the B84 were created by New York City Transit from scratch, in 2013, 1978, 1966, and 2013, respectively.

#8053 on the B6 in Bensonhurst.

  • Evening service: 8 PM – Midnight

Route B110

B110 bus in Borough Park.

This route is operated by Private Transportation Corporation under a franchise with the City of New York,[59] and is the only unsubsidized route operating in Brooklyn. Buses on the B110 route do not accept MetroCard, instead charging a one-way exact change fare of US$5.00

In October 2011, the B110 was reported in several New York newspapers to have signs requiring female passengers to sit in the back to avoid possible contact with men, as is considered necessary by some Hasidic Jewish groups in the area it serves.[60][61][62][63] The story was reported internationally.[64][65][66][67] On October 20, the New York City Department of Transportation said it would shut down the line if the gender separation was not discontinued,[68] and six days later, Private Transportation Corporation agreed to end this practice.[69]

As of 2013, Private Transportation Corporation no longer enforces the Hasidic custom that men and women sit apart in social situations. Still, most Hasidic men and women riders choose to sit apart from each other, and do not complain about segregation.[70]

Dollar vans

When the MTA discontinued some routes on June 27, 2010, operators of commuter vans, also known as dollar vans,[75] were allowed to take over certain discontinued routes. In Brooklyn, these routes were the B23, B39 (which has since been restored), and B71.[76] There are also dollar vans that operate to areas with little mass transit service, or provide an alternative mode of transportation to certain bus routes such as the B41 and B46.[77][78] The vans, some licensed by the New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission and some unlicensed, charge a fare of $2.00, lower than the $2.75 fare for MTA-operated local buses, but without free transfers.[75][77]

B16
  • Began on October 28, 1931 by Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit.
  • In September 1994, the route was extended 0.6 miles (0.97 km) north via Ocean Avenue to Flatbush Avenue and Empire Boulevard to provide direct connections with the B41, B47 and B48. This change also eliminated the need for the route to turnaround using Saint Paul's Place, which is a narrow one-way street that is often blocked due to congestion and extensive road repairs, which resulted in unreliable service. Northbound buses had turned north on St. Paul's Place and east on Parkside Avenue to the terminal on Ocean Avenue. The extension cost $140,000 annually, of which it was offset by $70,000 to $85,000 due to expected increases in ridership. This was funded as part of the 1994 Fare Deal/Ridership Growth Initiatives Program.[94]:D.14–D.20

  • In September 1996, B25 service was made 24/7 to make up for the truncation of B41 service to Tillary Street. B25 service had run 24 hours on weekdays and Saturday, but not Sundays when the first trip departed at 7:40 a.m.[96]
  • Extended to Fulton Landing in 1998.[97]
  • On January 12, 1998, westbound service was rerouted along Front Street, Main Street, Water Street and Fulton Street between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. on weekdays to stop at the corner of Water Street and Main Street.[95]
B26
B31
  • Began in 1922 by Kings Coach Company.
  • Former western terminus was Avenue U (BMT Brighton Line) station.
  • Rerouted to the B2 western terminus (Kings Highway (BMT Brighton Line)) station in 1989. A public hearing was held on June 22, 1989. The change was made to provide a direct connection to Kings Highway, which had more subway service as it was an express stop. The extension also allowed for connections to the B5, B7 and B50. Two alternatives were considered to extend the route. The first would have extended it north along Gerritsen Avenue to Avenue R and then follow the B2 to Kings Highway. The second alternative would have kept the route along Avenue U to Ocean Avenue before turning north to Avenue R and then running along the B2 route. The first alternative was chosen as it was the more direct route, had fewer bus transfer impacts, and provided additional service along Gerritsen Avenue.[99]

Routes B41 to B103

Route History
B41
  • This route was the Flatbush Avenue Line streetcar until March 5, 1951.
  • Former northern terminus was Furman Street and Cadman Plaza West
  • Limited-stop service began on September 14, 1992.[106][107]
  • In September 1996, all trips on the route were slated to be cut back to the alternate terminal at Tillary Street and Cadman Plaza West from Old Fulton Street at Fulton Landing as part of a reconfiguration of service in Downtown Brooklyn.[108] The change took effect on March 30, 1997.[109] This 0.6 miles (0.97 km) section was eliminated as it duplicated B25 service, because this section was underutilized, with an average of 1.5 passengers per trip, and because the shorter route would increase the B41's reliability. B25 service was made 24/7 to make up for the loss of Sunday service to Fulton Landing.[108]
B42
  • Rockaway Parkway Line streetcar until April 29, 1951.
  • Northern terminus (bus loop) is inside subway fare control.

B54
  • Myrtle Avenue Line (surface) streetcar until July 17, 1949.

  • Court Street Line streetcar until July 17, 1949.
  • Smith Street Line (surface) streetcar until February 11, 1951.
  • In September 1996, B57 service was slated to be extended 0.7 miles (1.1 km) west to the center of Downtown Brooklyn at Smith Street at Livingston Street via Jay Street from its previous terminal at Sands Street and Jay Street. The extension was intended to encourage ridership growth by providing direct access to Downtown Brooklyn, to provide transfers to other routes and to create a common terminal with the B51, B57 and B65. In addition, the B57's route path was revised to loop around the Farragut House, running along York Street between Navy Street and Gold Street, to make up for the loss of the B61, which was rerouted.[123] Service was extended to Fulton Mall on March 30, 1997.[109]

  • Extended to Queens Plaza in March 1994 from the base of the Pulaski Bridge as part of the MTA's Fare Deal program.[124]
  • In September 1996, the B61 was slated to be rerouted, eliminating the deviation it made along Sands Street, Gold Street, York Street and Navy Street to serve the Farragut Houses, instead running directly along Tillary Street. The change was to be done so buses could avoid traffic on Jay Street and Sands Street, which is the entrance to the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway and the Brooklyn Bridge and to enhance the route's growing use as an interborough route between Downtown Brooklyn and Long Island City. This change saved riders five minutes in each direction. B57 service was to be rerouted to maintain service to the Farragut Houses.[125] On March 30, 1997, service was rerouted off of Jay Street and Sands Street and onto Gold Street and Tillary Street.[126][109]
  • On June 15, 2008, service was extended to the new IKEA store in Red Hook.[102]
