Two 2011 C40LFs on the Bay Ridge-bound B16 at 4th Ave/86th St: 233 in July 2019, and 455 in August 2018.
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 1978, 1966, and 2013, respectively.
List of routes
This table gives details for the routes prefixed with "B", those considered to run primarily in Brooklyn. For details on routes with other prefixes, see the following articles:
Weekday rush hours: 6:30 AM – 9:30 AM and 3:30 PM – 8 PM
Midday service: 9:30 AM – 3:30 PM
Evening service: 8 PM – Midnight
Overnight service: Midnight – 6:30 AM
Many routes do not operate overnights. Routes marked with an asterisk (*) run 24 hours a day. Connections to New York City Subway stations at the bus routes' terminals are also listed where applicable.
Routes in the following tables are operated by New York City Transit, except the B100 and B103 routes which are operated by MTA Bus Company. All routes operate local service only except the B6, B35, B38, B41, B49, and B103 which also have limited-stop service, as well as the B44, B46, and B82, which also have Select Bus Service.
The following table lists the scheduled NYC Bus routes that temporarily replace portions of service on the New York City Subway due to system maintenance.
This route is operated by Private Transportation Corporation under a franchise with the City of New York,[62] and is the only unsubsidized route operating in Brooklyn. Buses on the B110 route do not accept MetroCard or OMNY, 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.[63][64][65] The story was reported internationally.[66][67][68][69] On October 20, the New York City Department of Transportation said it would shut down the line if the gender separation was not discontinued,[70] and six days later, Private Transportation Corporation agreed to end this practice.[71]
As of 2013[update], 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.[72]
When the MTA discontinued some routes on June 27, 2010, operators of commuter vans, also known as dollar vans,[77] were allowed to take over certain discontinued routes. In Brooklyn, these routes were the B23, B39 (which has since been restored), and B71.[78] 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.[79][80] 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 $2.90 fare for MTA-operated local buses, but without free transfers.[77][79]

On May 10, 1987, as a part of a series of changes to B6 and B11 bus service, with the shortening of the B11 to Brooklyn College, a third-leg transfer would be introduced between the B6 and B11 to ensure that riders would not have to pay a second fare. In addition, B6 service was rerouted to Glenwood Road from Flatlands Avenue between East 103rd Street and Rockaway Parkway, and eastbound service was rerouted to stay on Avenue H and Ralph Avenue instead of East 56th Street and Farragut Road. Weekday and Saturday service operating only between Cozine Avenue and Ashford Street and Rockaway Parkway station was increased.[83]

In May 2000, the MTA announced a plan to implement limited-stop service along the route on weekdays westbound between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m. and eastbound between 6 a.m. and 7 p.m.. The change was expected to save $95,000 a year. Limited-stop buses would skip local stops between Rockaway Parkway station and Coney Island Avenue, and make all stops to the east and to the west. While limited-stop service would operate, about every other B6 would run limited. Local bus service would mainly operate between Rockaway Parkway station and Coney Island Avenue.[84] The service began on September 11, 2000, saving up to five minutes in travel time.[85]
B7
Began June 29, 1930 by Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit.
On September 13, 1999, service was extended along Kings Highway from East 16th Street to Coney Island Avenue.[86] Partially as a result of the extension, ridership increased by 15.4 percent between September 1999 and May 2000 over the previous year, compared to 4.5 percent for buses in Brooklyn overall.[87]
In February 2001, the MTA announced a plan to extend weekend service between 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. from Ryder Street to Coney Island. The extension would cost about $120,000, and was to be implemented in June 2001.[87]

Service would run every 30 minutes between 8 a.m. and 7 p.m., and when the service was announced on June 10, 1980, it was expected that service would be increased as ridership increased. The extensions in service were made possible via federal funding from the Gateway National Recreational Area.[92][93][94]
B11
Began on September 21, 1931 by Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit.
Original eastern terminus was 18th Avenue; Extended to Canarsie–Rockaway Parkway station on November 12, 1978 via the B6 route.
On May 10, 1987, as a part of a series of changes to B6 and B11 bus service, the route was shortened to the current terminus at Brooklyn College. As part of the change, late night service was extended from 18th Avenue to Brooklyn College. A third-leg transfer would be introduced between the B6 and B11 to ensure that riders would not have to pay a second fare.[83]

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.[101]: D.14–D.20
Overnight service discontinued in 1995 due to budget crisis.
B17
Began on August 17, 1931 by Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit.
On January 12, 1998, service was increased to begin earlier and end later.[102]
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.[104]
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.[102]
In January 1995, the B26 was extended from Adams Street and Johnson Street to a new terminal at Cadman Plaza West and Tilllary Street to eliminate operational problems.[107]
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.[108]
In January 1995, the B37 began running via Livingston Street in Downtown Brooklyn instead of via the Fulton Mall due to the high accident rate on that street and due to the difficult turns required to get to Fulton Mall.[110]
On November 8, 2008, Bay Ridge-bound service was rerouted from Third Avenue to Fourth Avenue between Flatbush Avenue and Bergen Street.[111]
Discontinued on June 27, 2010 due to a budget crisis. Restored on June 29, 2014.[91]

Former northern terminus was Furman Street and Cadman Plaza West
Limited-stop service began on September 14, 1992.[115][116]
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.[117] The change took effect on March 30, 1997.[118] 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.[117]
In February 1999, the MTA announced plans to implement Sunday limited-stop service on the B41, B44, and B46 due to increased ridership. The $76,000 annual increase in costs was expected to be offset by increased ridership. The change was expected to be implemented in May 1999.[119]
Combined from B47 and B62 on September 10, 1995 due to a budget crisis.[121][122]
In March 2000, plans were announced to modify the terminal loops of the B43 and B48 to serve the Lincoln Road entrance to the Prospect Park subway station to eliminate a two-block walk and allow dispatchers and bus operators to use the new dispatcher office and restrooms at the subway station. At the time, buses had terminated at Washington Avenue and Empire Boulevard; the southbound stop was on Washington Avenue, and buses continued via Flatbush Avenue to head back into service on Empire Boulevard. With the change, southbound buses would turn south onto Flatbush Avenue, and west on Lincoln Road to the new terminal, and northbound buses would continue west on Lincoln Road, turn north on Ocean Avenue, and turn east onto Empire Boulevard. The change was estimated to cost $37,000 a year, and was to be implemented in June 2000.[123]
Limited-stop service was added to the route on September 11, 1995,[122][119] operating on weekdays between 6:30 a.m. and 9 p.m. and on Saturday between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m.[124]
In February 1999, the MTA announced plans to implement Sunday limited-stop service on the B41, B44, and B46 due to increased ridership. The $76,000 annual increase in costs was expected to be offset by increased ridership. The change was expected to be implemented in May 1999.[119]
B46 service, along with B9 service, was extended to Jacob Riis Park in Queens during the summer season, starting on June 14, 1980. Service would run every 30 minutes between 8 a.m. and 7 p.m. , and when the service was announced on June 10, 1980, it was expected that service would be increased as ridership increased. The extensions in service were made possible via federal funding from the Gateway National Recreational Area.[92][93][94]
Limited-stop service was implemented on weekdays September 12, 1994.[119]
Saturday limited-stop service was added on September 16, 1995,[122][119] operating between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m.[127]
In February 1999, the MTA announced plans to implement Sunday limited-stop service on the B41, B44, and B46 due to increased ridership. The $76,000 annual increase in costs was expected to be offset by increased ridership. The change was expected to be implemented in May 1999.[119]
Busiest bus route in Brooklyn; third busiest route in New York City.[128][129][130][131]
Second Select Bus Service bus rapid transit route in Brooklyn started on July 3, 2016. Local service was extended full-time to Williamsburg Bridge Plaza.
In March 2000, plans were announced to modify the terminal loops of the B43 and B48 to serve the Lincoln Road entrance to the Prospect Park subway station to eliminate a two-block walk and allow dispatchers and bus operators to use the new dispatcher office and restrooms at the subway station. At the time, buses had terminated at Washington Avenue and Empire Boulevard; the southbound stop was on Washington Avenue, and buses continued via Flatbush Avenue to head back into service on Empire Boulevard. With the change, southbound buses would turn south onto Flatbush Avenue, and west on Lincoln Road to the new terminal, and northbound buses would continue west on Lincoln Road, turn north on Ocean Avenue, and turn east onto Empire Boulevard. The change was estimated to cost $37,000 a year, and was to be implemented in June 2000.[123]
Route originally continued to Lefferts Gardens; service south of Fulton Street discontinued in July 2010, restored on January 6, 2013.[82]
B49
Ocean Avenue Line streetcar until April 29, 1951.
Rerouted to serve the Sheepshead Bay subway station on November 12, 1978 (when B1 was rerouted via Brighton Beach).[133]
In April 2002, plans were announced to reroute northbound B49 service off of Sheepshead Bay Road and East 15th Street, and onto Shore Parkway Service Road, East 16th Street, Voorhies Avenue, East 14th Street, and Avenue Z, to reduce the number of crashes on the bus routes. 15 crashes involving the B49 occurred in 1999, eight occurred in 2000, and seven in 2001.[134]
Southbound Limited-Stop service started on September 5, 2006.[98]
The B52 was rerouted to run two-way on Gates Avenue between Spring 1991 and October 1993 to accommodate the reconstruction of Greene Avenue and Quincy Street, which was subsequently deferred. The B52 returned to running eastbound on Quincy Street and Linden Street and running westbound on Gates Avenue. The local community then requested reinstating two-way service via Gates Avenue because the street was wider, there was less congestion, and because there were greater housing development densities on that street. Brooklyn Community Boards 2, 3 and 4 supported the change, and a public hearing was held on June 16, 1994.[135] The change went into effect in January 1995.[136]
On July 1, 2007, the travel path of the B54's terminal loop in Downtown Brooklyn was reversed to improve traffic flow and to provide faster service to the Jay Street subway station.[137]
B57
Flushing Avenue Line streetcar until November 21, 1948.
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.[138] Service was extended to Fulton Mall on March 30, 1997.[118]
Extended along the Smith/Court Street sections of the B75 in 2010.
Extended to Red Hook in January 2013 from Smith-9th Streets subway station.

Extended to Queens Plaza in March 1994 from the base of the Pulaski Bridge as part of the MTA's Fare Deal program.[139]
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.[140] On March 30, 1997, service was rerouted off of Jay Street and Sands Street and onto Gold Street and Tillary Street.[141][118]
On June 15, 2008, service was extended to the new IKEA store in Red Hook.[111]
Route north of Downtown Brooklyn was split off from original B61 route (now B62) on January 3, 2010.[142]

Gowanus and Boerum Hill service was added on April 6, 2014.[159]
Proposed bus route changes
In December 2019, the MTA released a draft redesign of the Queens bus network with 77 routes.[160][161] The final redesign was initially expected in mid- or late 2020,[160][161] but the first draft attracted overwhelmingly negative feedback, with 11,000 comments about the plans.[162] The redesign was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in New York City.[163] Planning resumed in mid-2021.[164][165] The original draft plan was dropped,[166] and a revised plan with 85 routes was released on March 29, 2022.[162] The Queens draft plan affects three existing bus routes: the B24, B57, and B62.[167]
The MTA released a draft plan for Brooklyn's bus network on December 1, 2022. One bus route (the B39) remained completely unchanged, while the remaining routes underwent changes to their route, stop spacing, service frequencies, and/or service spans.[168][169]
