Local-bus routes are designated by a letter followed by a number. Some stops serve more than one bus. Buses display their route number on the front, and sometimes the back. On some of our heavily used bus routes, we offer limited-stop service in both directions to make the trip faster for more customers. Limited stops are at major intersections, transfer points, and major attractions, such as Lincoln Center.
Locals make all stops.
When the bus with the route number you want arrives, stay on the curb until the bus stops and the front doors open. People unable to walk up the front steps of the bus may board using the wheelchair lift. The bus operator has a key to operate this lift, which is located at the rear of the bus. If you're not sure whether the bus goes where you need to go, ask your bus driver. The driver knows how to get around the city.
