Express Bus Service

Express bus routes operating from Brooklyn, Queens and Manhattan require NYC Transit to spend at least $9.00 per customer more than each fare brings in, much more than the $1.58-per-customer subsidy for local bus routes. Due to the high cost of operation, the relatively small number of daily customers and the availability of alternative rail service, we propose to discontinue all eleven express bus routes operating from these three boroughs.
