MTA New York City Transit has operated a large number of express routes between Staten Island and Manhattan and several express routes between Queens and Manhattan and between Brooklyn and Manhattan for decades. (There's also an express route between Queens and the Bronx, but that's an anomaly.) OK - I was going from memory and failed to load up a MTA Bus Map ;-) The various city-subsidized private bus operators operated many local routes in Queens and Brooklyn, along with express routes between Queens and Manhattan, Brooklyn and Manhattan, and the Bronx and Manhattan. Those routes were recently taken over by the newly formed MTA Bus. I knew I'd got a bit of it correct. - What are New York's night buses like? Not dissimilar to the concept used in London - i.e. 24 hour service on key corridors. There is not the same need as in London for longer distance routes as the Subway is 24 hours in NYC. Generally, New York doesn't have any specific night buses. Some bus routes run all night - that's all. But many of London's routes are now on exactly this basis - the daytime route but running all night. Yes, but the difference is that London has separate night-only bus routes as well as 24-hour bus routes. New York, basically, simply has 24-hour bus routes. -- Stephen Is that all I was to you, a one-bite stand? |
