List of bus routes in Staten Island

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) operates a number of bus routes in Staten Island, New York, United States. Some of them are the direct descendants of streetcar lines (see list of streetcar lines in Staten Island). Many routes run to the St. George Terminal, at St. George in northeastern Staten Island, where there are connections to the Staten Island Ferry. The fare, payable by MetroCard, coins, or the OMNY contactless payment system, is $2.90 as of 2023. Discount fares are available.

S79 Select Bus Service

edit

Operated as a Select Bus Service (SBS) route. The S79 provides SBS service at all times. Originally a local route, the S79 was converted to an SBS route in 2012, with the number of stops cut by about three-quarters.[22] But unlike the SBS buses in the rest of New York City, the S79 has no fare machines at bus stops, so fares are collected onboard the bus.

  • In May 2002, the MTA announced plans to create the S84 route as an evening peak period, peak-direction limited-stop variant of the S74. Service would operate between 4:30 p.m. and 6:00 p.m.. During this time period, two S84 buses were scheduled within three minutes of each other to meet each ferry trip to accommodate passenger volumes from each boat. Since the S84 would help 63 percent of evening peak period, peak direction riders south of Richmond Avenue by saving five minutes of travel time, the pair of buses would be more evenly loaded. S84 limited-stop service would not be implemented in the AM rush hour since limited-stop service was only implemented when a route had service running at least every five minutes, and service on the S51 in the morning rush hour ran every eight to ten minutes. Service was going to be implemented in fall 2002.[26]

  • In July 2001, the MTA announced plans to create the weekday peak period S93 Limited route as a variant of the S53 to provide direct service from Brooklyn to Victory Boulevard and the College of Staten Island. The additional service was expected to cost $112,000 a year. The new route would eliminate double fares and transfers for people transferring to and from the subway in Brooklyn, and save riders up to 15 minutes in each direction. Service, which would start with three trips in each direction, was going to be implemented in September 2001.[31] Trips would leave from Brooklyn at 6:55 a.m., 7:55 a.m., and 8:55 a.m. in the morning, and from Staten Island at 3 p.m., 5 p.m., and 7 p.m.. The service was expected to benefit at least 2,300 students. Service began on August 27, 2001.[32]
  • Travels between Staten Island and Brooklyn via the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge
  • Reverse-peak service (and additional stops along Narrows Road South/North) added September 2006

Bus route history

edit

Except for the S61, all current Staten Island bus routes originally had different designations before they were renumbered by service patterns, as follows:[40]

  • S4x: North Shore services
  • S5x: North-south cross-island services
  • S6x: Victory Boulevard services
  • S7x: South Shore services
  • S8x & S9x: Limited-stop versions of their respective local routes ending in the same number. (Ex: S62/S92, S48/S98). S8x routes provide north-south limited stop service while S9x routes provide east-west limited stop service. The S81, S84, and S86 are limited-stop versions of the S51, S74, and S76 respectively, while the S91, S94, and S96 are limited-stop versions of the S61, S44, and S46 respectively.[37]: D.9 

On April 2, 1989, routes on the North Shore of Staten Island were renumbered.[41]

The implementation of this numbering scheme was completed on April 15, 1990, when the final eight routes, all from St. George, were renumbered.[42]

Old and new routes are given below, along with discontinued service patterns. In addition, before 1975, routes were designated with R (for Richmond, the borough's official name before 1975) instead of S. The R designation is shown in the "Old Route" section.

Old route Terminals Streets traveled New route History
R1 St. George Ferry

Ramp "A"

Port Ivory Richmond Terrace S40
  • Original western terminal was Port Ivory (Procter & Gamble Plant on Western Avenue)
  • Renumbered the S1, and then the S40 on April 2, 1989. On this date the route's western terminus was swapped with the S107, which was renumbered the S48 at the same time. Free transfers began being offered to the S46 and the S48.[41]
  • Port Ivory service was later discontinued (resulting in South Avenue receiving service from both routes)
  • In November 1997, the MTA Board voted to approve an extension of the S40 to the newly reopened Howland Hook Container Terminal on Western Avenue. The extension took effect on January 12, 1998. Service to Howland Hook would operate between 5:30 a.m. and midnight.[43] Howland Hook had been served by the S48 until 1995, when that service was cut back since most factories in the area had closed. At the time, NYCT said it would restore service if Howland Hook reopened.[44] NYCT elected to extend the S40 instead of restoring S48 service since the route was closer to the facility. The extension was expected to cost $54,000 a year, and provide $20,000 in additional revenue. A bus shelter would be constructed for the extension by Howland Hook.[45]
  • When the apartment buildings on Holland Avenue were built, the end of the line was Holland Avenue and Richmond Terrace, with only certain trips to Howland Hook to accommodate the employees' work schedules
  • A.M. rush hour service was supplemented by service from Andros Ave and Richmond Terrace to the ferry and Park Avenue & Richmond Terrace to the ferry
  • P.M. rush hour service was also supplemented with the same destinations in reverse
R2 St. George Ferry

  • R2MB: Lincoln Avenue & Richmond Road, Grant City.
  • R2SB: Sand Lane & Seaside (now Father Capodanno) Boulevard, South Beach.
  • R2MB: Bay Street, Seaside (now Father Capodanno) Boulevard, Lincoln Avenue, Midland Avenue.
  • R2SB: Bay Street, McClean Avenue, Olympia Boulevard.
S51
  • R2MB became the S2, and then the S51 on April 15, 1990.
  • R2MB Summer Service - certain trips were terminated and originated at Midland Beach Bus Loop (Jefferson Avenue & Seaside (now Father Capodanno) Boulevard)
  • Service from Midnight to 5 a.m. was terminated at Midland Avenue and Kiswick Street
  • R2SB discontinued; Arrochar segment merged into the S104
  • In January 1990, alternate buses began running through Fort Wadsworth between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. Around January 12, 1991, the grounds of the United States Naval Station at the Fort were closed to the public due to security concerns due to the beginning of the Gulf War. The restriction became permanent after the war.[46]
  • On March 27, 1995, alternate S51 buses during weekday rush hours in the off-peak direction, from St. George between 6 a.m. and 9 a.m. and from Grant City between 3 and 5:30 p.m. They began running through Fort Wadsworth at the request of the Defense Logistics Agency, which moved several employees to the Fort. Other alternatives considered included diverting all S51 service between 6 a.m.. and 7 p.m. and diverting the S53 and reverse peak-direction express bus trips.[46]
R3 St. George Ferry

Ramp "C"

Walloon Street & Maple Parkway, Mariners' Harbor Castleton Avenue, Clove Road, Richmond Terrace, Nicholas Avenue, Innis Street, Morningstar Road, Walker Street. S46
  • Renumbered the S3, and then the S46 on April 2, 1989.[41]
  • Extended to Grandview & Forest Avenues, Mariners Harbor and later Chelsea (West Shore Plaza).
  • Service was extended to West Shore Plaza on June 26, 1994 from Grandview Avenue and Forest Avenue from 8:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. weekdays and Saturdays and from 9 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., corresponding with the shopping center's hours. Service was extended in response to requests for the extension from the office of the Staten Island Borough President, the Staten Island Chamber of Commerce, the owner of the shopping center and other groups. Before the extension, there was no bus service to the Plaza, requiring employees and shoppers to walk a mile from the S62 bus. NYCT studied extensions of the S40, S46, S48 and S62, and decided to extend the S46 because it did not make diversions and did not branch, for its connections to other bus routes and the SIR, because it connected to a large apartment complex, and because it offered good accessibility to residential areas on the North Shore. The extension also provided access to the Teleport, an office park constructed by the Port Authority. The extension was done through an agreement with the developer of the shopping center, and required the elimination of some parking spaces. The extension received more ridership than expected, with an additional 450 riders compared to the projected 200 to 250 riders. In June 1996, the span of service in the peak hour in the off-peak direction was increased in the morning for workers and early morning shoppers, with the first bus leaving St. George at 6 a.m.[47]
  • The opening of the Teleport, on South Avenue, prompted limited service in conjunction with employee work hours. Service began on August 29, 2011.[48]
  • A.M. & P.M. rush hour service was supplemented with additional trips to & from Clove Road & Richmond Terrace to the ferry and Park Avenue & Richmond Terrace to the ferry

  • S59 assumed entire Richmond Avenue service
  • S54 assumed Nelson Avenue and Giffords Lane service (along with R110 service)
  • On March 15, 1995, NYCT announced plans to discontinue service off-peak between Hylan Boulevard and Richmond Avenue and Tottenville. In addition, service on the branch to Forest Avenue and Willowbrook Road would be discontinued between 1 and 5 a.m.[50] The changes were expected to save $133,000 a year. The nighttime service elimination only affected 45 riders.[51]

  • On March 15, 1995, NYCT announced plans to discontinue weekend S60 service, which operated between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m.. There had been a previous plan to eliminate this service a few years earlier that was met with strong opposition. It was also announced that service on the S66 would be eliminated on weekends and between 1 and 5 a.m. weekdays.[50]
  • The change to the S60 was expected to save $32,000 a year and affect approximately 50 people each weekend, while the S66 change was expected to save $309,000 a year.[51]
  • On September 10, 1995, S66 service stopped running 24 hours every day of the week. Weekend service was discontinued, and weekday service was cut back to run toward St. George between 4 a.m. and 12:15 a.m. and to Port Richmond between 4:30 a.m. and 1 a.m.. Weekend S60 service, which was proposed for elimination at a May public hearing, was kept.[52]
