Re: Have You Ridden the M90 Bus?

Posted by GojiMet86 on Mon May 29 14:04:53 2023, in response to Have You Ridden the M90 Bus?, posted by nh153 on Sun May 28 21:04:49 2023.

The MTA is switching to having shuttle buses with actual route numbers for the purpose of making them available on tracking apps.



From my observations:

If the shuttle bus replaces a lettered subway (B-Division) like the L or M, then the shuttle receives that letter.

D99 for the D train shuttle.
J90 and J99 for the J train shuttle.
L90, L91, and L92 for L train shuttles.
M90 for the M train shuttle.
Q90 for the Q train shuttle.


D99 - Bay 50th Street Coney Island.
J90 - Cresent Street to Jamaica-Van Wyck.
J99 - 121st Street to Jamaica-Van Wyck.
L90 - Lorimer Street to Myrtle-Wyckoff Avenues.
L91 - Broadway Junction to Myrtle-Wyckoff Avenues, Express.
L92 - Abingdon Square to FDR Drive.
M90 - Metropolitan Avenue to Myrtle Avenue.
Q90 - Atlantic Avenue-Barclays Center to Prospect Park.



If the shuttle replaces a numbered subway (A-Division), then the shuttle receives the borough letter. However, I've only seen the 7 train shuttle and nothing else yet.

Q92 and Q93 for 7 train shuttles.


Q92 - Times Square-42nd Street to 34th Street-Hudson Yards.
Q93 - Queensboro Plaza to Vernon Blvd-Jackson Avenue.


Now note:
- The Q train and 7 train shuttles share the Q designation, one for being the Q train and the other for being (primarily) in Queens.
- It just happens that the M train shares a letter with Manhattan.



Tangentially, the B99, Bx99, and M99 were the late-night replacements for the subway during COVID.



Most do appear on BusTime, but not directly on the website. On my Transit Tracker app, I can type them in only if they are running.
