New York City Local Bus Information

With over 200 local and 30 express bus routes, New York's buses carry over one million passengers every day. Considering that the whole fleet is air conditioned and handicapped accessible, the bus system is quite impressive! The entire City bus fleet, operated by MTA/New York City Transit, is lift-equipped, has kneeling features, wheelchair securement devices, public address systems, and seating spaces reserved for people with disabilities. Personal Care Attendants accompanying the customer ride free. For more information on what the MTA New York City Transit offer people with disabilities and special needs click Here. If you need more information on other transportation services available for people with disabilities, click, Here. Bus fare is $1.50, which you can pay in coins, with a token or Metrocard. Since the introduction of Metrocard several years ago, you can now transfer free between buses and from bus to subway, as well as enjoy economical day, week and month passes. The minimum cost for a Metrocard is $3. Farecard machines are located in many subway stations, and that many newsstands sell Metrocards as well. In addition, various reduced-fare fares apply for the elderly and handicapped. If you pay with coins or a token, you may request a bus transfer, but you cannot transfer free to the subway.

By the way, bus (and subway) maps are free at any subway station token booth or download the Manhattan bus map (PDF format) and information online. On board the bus, you'll also find a large map posted behind the driver's seat. Please note that the seats nearest the driver are designated for the elderly and handicapped. If you take the bus late at night, you may ask the driver to let you off at a specific point along the route; the driver will determine if it is safe to stop there.
