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.

Route

History

• Began on July 3, 1921.
• In April 1928, the original terminus was at Moshulu Parkway.
• Original north-western terminus was at Broadway-231st Street ( train). Service was extended to Riverdale-West 246th Street in February 1984, and was later cut back to its current terminus in 1990 after the Bx7 started running all times except nights.
• Some Bx1 trips also ran via Paul Avenue and Bedford Park Boulevard in both directions until March 1993.
• First route in the city to implement articulated buses on September 30, 1996.[47]
• Effective October 30, 1997, southbound buses no longer stopped at Paul Avenue, and used the main road of Mosholu Parkway instead of the service road between Paul Avenue and Sedgewick Avenue.[48]
• Original south-western terminus was at 138th Street–Grand Concourse ( train). Southbound service was extended to its current terminus on September 8, 2002.[49]
• In March 2002, the MTA announced a plan to revise service on the Bx1, Bx2, and Bx41 routes in Mott Haven by extending the Bx1 and Bx2 to a new terminal at Lincoln Avenue and East 138th Street and truncating the Bx41 to East 149th Street and Third Avenue. The Bx41 would have a terminal loop consisting of Third Avenue, East 146th Street, Willis Avenue, East 147th Street, and Third Avenue. At the time, the Bx1 had terminated at the 138th Street–Grand Concourse subway station, while the Bx2 had terminated at East 147th Street and Third Avenue near the Third Avenue–149th Street subway station. The changes were intended to improve service reliability on the Bx1 and Bx2 by consolidating route supervision at their new terminal. There was no dispatcher at Grand Concourse and East 138th Street, and without full supervision, trips were often out of order when they merged at Grand Concourse and East 165th Street. The truncation of the Bx41 made the changes cost-neutral and ensured there would not be too many buses in the vicinity of East 138th Street and Lincoln Avenue. About 1,000 Bx41 daily riders would need to transfer with the changes.[50] The changes took effect on September 8, 2002.[51]
• Prior to September 12, 2010, Bx1 and Bx2 local and Limited-Stop services ran together weekdays and Saturdays.[52]
• Limited-Stop service was introduced on February 23, 1993, as a weekday rush hour-only service.[53] Initially, it would have been implemented in January.[54]
• Service was eventually extended to run weekdays and Saturdays in September 1996.
• All weekday and Saturday Limited-Stop service became the Bx1 on September 12, 2010.[52]

Bx2

• Began July 3, 1921.
• Southbound service originally ran via Third Avenue between East 161st Street and The Hub-East 150th Street until July 1974.
• Some Bx2 trips also ran via Paul Avenue and Bedford Park Boulevard in both directions until July 1974, when the Bx1 took over this role.
• Effective October 30, 1997, southbound buses no longer stopped at Paul Avenue, and used the main road of Mosholu Parkway instead of the service road between Paul Avenue and Sedgewick Avenue.[48]
• In March 2002, the MTA announced a plan to revise service on the Bx1, Bx2, and Bx41 routes in Mott Haven by extending the Bx1 and Bx2 to a new terminal at Lincoln Avenue and East 138th Street and truncating the Bx41 to East 149th Street and Third Avenue. The Bx41 would have a terminal loop consisting of Third Avenue, East 146th Street, Willis Avenue, East 147th Street, and Third Avenue. At the time, the Bx1 had terminated at the 138th Street–Grand Concourse subway station, while the Bx2 had terminated at East 147th Street and Third Avenue near the Third Avenue–149th Street subway station. The changes were intended to improve service reliability on the Bx1 and Bx2 by consolidating route supervision at their new terminal. There was no dispatcher at Grand Concourse and East 138th Street, and without full supervision, trips were often out of order when they merged at Grand Concourse and East 165th Street. The truncation of the Bx41 made the changes cost-neutral and ensured there would not be too many buses in the vicinity of East 138th Street and Lincoln Avenue. About 1,000 Bx41 daily riders would need to transfer with the changes.[50] The changes took effect on September 8, 2002.[51]
• On August 16, 2008, Bx2, Bx15, Bx41, and Bx55 service were rerouted in The Hub due to the reconstruction of streets by the New York City Department of Transportation to improve pedestrian safety. Bx2 service was rerouted off of East 165th Street and Melrose Avenue. Northbound service started running east via East 146th Street, north on Willis Avenue, north on Bergen Avenue, west on East 149th Street, and north on Grand Concourse, while southbound service continued along Grand Concourse to East 149th Street, turned east on that street, south on Courtlandt Avenue, and south on Third Avenue. Southbound Bx15 service would stay on Third Avenue until East 146th Street, and run along that street and Willis Avenue before returning to its previous route. Northbound Bx41 service would run north on Third Avenue, west on East 152nd Street, and north on Melrose Avenue before resuming its previous route, while southbound service would run south on Melrose Avenue, east on East 154th Street, south on Elton Avenue, and then south on Third Avenue before resuming its previous route. Finally, the terminal loop of the Bx55 was modified to run south on Third Avenue, east on East 146th Street, north on Willis Avenue, and then north on Third Avenue.[55][56]
• Originally had Limited-Stop service until September 12, 2010, when all weekday and Saturday local service became the Bx2.[52]

• On January 18, 1998, buses started terminating at Wadsworth Avenue.[48]

Bx4/4A

• Replaced Westchester Avenue Line streetcars on July 10, 1948; formerly Bx42.
• 'A' variant was created on January 2, 2011, to replace former Bx14 service at Parkchester via Metropolitan Oval.[58][59]
• In June 2022, Bx4A service west of Southern Boulevard eliminated in exchange for increased frequency on Bx4 and Bx4A.[60]

Bx5

• Began March 26, 1928 by New York City Department of Plant and Structures.
• In April 1928, the original eastern terminus was at City Island via Pelham Parkway, Pelham Bridge Road and City Island Avenue. The western terminus was at West Farms Square-East Tremont Avenue via Eastchester Road and Tremont Avenue.
• Original north-eastern terminus was at Pelham Bay Park (​ trains). Part-time service was extended to Pelham Parkway-Seymour Avenue in November 1967, then to Pelham Parkway-Laconia Avenue (at Pelham Parkway ( train)) in July 1974, and was later cut back to its original terminus in 1988.
• Original south-western terminus was at Longwood Avenue-Prospect Avenue (at Prospect Avenue (​ trains)). Service was rerouted to its current terminus in November 1967.
• Service originally ran throughout Bruckner Boulevard, until Story Avenue service between Bronx River Avenue and White Plains Road was instituted in November 1967. Lafayette Avenue service between White Plains Road and Castle Hill Avenue was also instituted in April 1999.
• Service originally had a split branched service (known as the Bx5A) to either Parkchester (​ trains) or Metropolitan Oval-Purdy Street.
• On June 21, 1965, Bx5A service was extended from Hugh Grant Circle to Purdy Street and Parker Street via Metropolitan Avenue.[61]
• Bx5A trips were split into a separate, former Bx54 service in July 1974.
• Seasonal summer service to Orchard Beach was first introduced in February 1984, running all times except nights. Seasonal summer service was later reduced to a weekend-only service in September 1990, and was later discontinued on September 10, 1995,[62] and then in Summer 2016. The last run of the summer trips was in Labor Day 2015.[63]
• Bx5 service to Pelham Bay Park (and formerly Laconia Avenue) initially ran during the daytime hours only except late afternoon, evenings and late nights. Short-turn service to White Plains Road was instituted after the Bx54's elimination in September 1990 and service to Pelham Bay Park was expanded to also run late afternoon and evenings.
• Service was initially rerouted from Bruckner Boulevard to Crosby Avenue in Pelham Bay to replace Bx8 service through the area on June 27, 2010, due to budget-related reductions.[64] Service was rerouted back to Bruckner Boulevard in April 2012 due to congestion issues at Crosby Avenue.
• Weekend trips were extended from Pelham Bay Park to Co-op City's Bay Plaza Shopping Center in September 2015.[65]

Bx6

• Replaced 163rd Street Crosstown Line streetcars on June 27, 1948;[66] formerly Bx34.
• In Fiscal Year 1963, this route was extended to directly serve industrial areas.[67]
• On February 14, 1965, the route was extended on mile from 155th Street and St. Nicholas Avenue to Riverside Drive and 157th Street via 155 Street, Broadway, and 157th Street.[68]
• Original southern terminus was at Halleck Street-East Bay Avenue. Service was partially extended to East Bay Avenue-Hunts Point Avenue in November 1967, and then to its current terminus in July 1974.
• Former Bx34A rush hour-only shuttle service, running only within the eastern and western areas of Hunts Point, became part of the Bx6 in February 1984. The western branch of Hunts Point was eliminated in 1990, and was not replaced by another service until the Barreto Pool Shuttle (current Bx46) started serving the area in July 2008.
• Select Bus Service began on September 3, 2017.

Bx7

• Began February 12, 1928; formerly the Bx10. In April the same year, the original routing ran between Riverdale-West 262nd Street and Broadway-West 234th Street via Spuyten Duyvil
• Originally three separate services; the Bx10 (current Bx7), Bx10A (until February 1965)[68] and Bx10B (until July 1974).
• Original Bx10A service ran via Spuyten Duyvil, terminating at Henry Hudson Parkway-West 239th Street until February 1965.[68]
• Original Bx10B service ran via Riverdale Avenue, terminating at Waldo Avenue-Manhattan College Parkway until November 1967. Service was later extended to run towards Fieldston Road-West 256th Street and became part of the former Bx10 service in July 1974. This split branched service only ran weekday rush hours until its elimination in February 1984.
• Renumbered to Bx7 circa 1984.[69]
• Original south-western terminus was at Inwood-West 207th Street ( train). Service was extended to its current terminus in 1990, and southbound late night service to Inwood-West 207th Street was introduced in March 1993.
• Service originally ran weekdays only until 1990, when service was expanded to run all times except nights, replacing Bx1 service at Riverdale Avenue.

Bx8

• Began November 1, 1927 (northern portion) and June 15, 1934, by Bronx Coach (southern portion).
• Original northern terminus was at Burke Avenue (​ trains). Service was extended to its current terminus via Bronxwood Avenue in July 1974.
• Original south-eastern terminus was at Westchester Square–East Tremont Avenue (​ trains). Service merged with former Bx23 service (Westchester Avenue-Buhre Avenue to Throgs Neck-Schley Avenue) and former Bx40 split branched services (at Edgewater Park and Locust Point) in September 1989.
• In March 1995, the Bx8 began using East 222nd Street heading southbound instead of East 225th Street to avoid a narrow street. This recommendation was made as part of the North East Bronx Comprehensive Community Planning Study.[70]
• The MTA, in September 2001, announced a plan to reroute southbound Bx8 bus service off of Otis Avenue and Logan Avenue, which are narrow two-way streets, and onto the Bruckner Boulevard South Service Road and Hollywood Avenue in Schuylerville. The change would take effect in Fall 2001.[71]
• In November 2002, the MTA announced a reroute of the Bx8 to run along Pennyfield Avenue and Harding Avenue instead of along the Throgs Neck Neck Expressway Service Road. This change was intended to restore a direct transfer to the Bx40 that had been lost when that route was rerouted from Lawton Avenue onto Harding Avenue between East Tremont Avenue and Pennyfield Avenue in June 2002, which required a two block walk. The change took effect immediately upon its approval.[72]
• Service was initially rerouted from Crosby Avenue to Stadium Avenue via Country Club in June 2010 due to budget-related reductions, partially replacing former Bx14 service.[58][64] Bx8 service was reverted to its original routing on January 2, 2011[59] due to opposition from Country Club and Locust Point residents.[58][73]

Bx9

• Replaced Bronx and Van Cortlandt Parks Crosstown Line streetcars on January 24, 1948; formerly Bx20.
• Late night service originally ran between Riverdale and Fordham Plaza until September 1990, when late night service started running the entire route.
• In December 1999, a proposed change to the southern terminal of the route at West Farms Square was announced. The route had a non-revenue turnaround running south on West Farms Road, west on the Cross Bronx Expressway Service Road, and north on Bryant Avenue to Boston Road. To eliminate a lengthy turnaround with several turns, and to improve dispatcher supervision, the layover of the route would be moved to East Tremont Avenue from Boston Road and Bryant Avenue. The turnaround route would be modified to run south from the terminal at Boston Road along Boston Road, east on East Tremont Avenue to a new layover area and new last stop, and then north on Devoe Avenue, and west on East 180th Street. The change would take effect the same month.[74]

Bx10

• New route introduced in January 1984.[75]
• Service was created from the northern section of the Bx7 via Riverdale Avenue, the south-western section of former Bx24 service via Spuyten Duyvil, and the Bx1 route between West 231st Street and Paul Avenue.

• Service originally ran with the Bx1 at Sedgwick Avenue and Heath Avenue until June 1996, when it was rerouted to serve Bailey Avenue.

Bx11

Bx12

• In April 1928, the original western terminus was at Fordham Road-Jerome Avenue.
• Replaced 207th Street Crosstown Line streetcars on January 24, 1948, and former Bx19 207th Street Crosstown Line became part of the Bx12 in July 1974
• Original western terminus was at Sedgwick Avenue. Former Bx19 service between Inwood-West 207th Street ( train) and Southern Boulevard-Fordham Road became part of the Bx12 in July 1974.
• Service was temporarily rerouted via Bailey Avenue, West 225th Street and the Broadway Bridge when access to the University Heights Bridge was suspended between 1988 and June 1996.
• Original eastern terminus was at City Island. Service remained after the Bx29 was introduced in 1990 as its eventual replacement, and all Bx12 service to City Island was discontinued in September 1990.
• A temporary split branched service to Co-op City-Bartow Avenue was introduced in 1990, running all times except nights. Full-time service was later shifted over to Co-op City in September 1990, and service was later extended to serve inside Bay Plaza in September 1998.
• Service also had a branch to the Bartow-Pell Mansion at Shore Road, but was discontinued in 1990 due to low ridership.
• Former Limited-Stop service was introduced in 1989 as a weekday rush hour-only service.

• Former Bx49 split branched service became part of the Bx13 in February 1984. This rush hour-only service ran between El Grant Highway-West 174th Street and Third Avenue-East 163rd Street via one-way directions at Woodycrest Avenue and Anderson Avenue until 1988, when all rush hour-only service was shifted over to Ogden Avenue. All rush hour-only service was eventually discontinued in 1990.

The frequency of Bx15 service along the entire route was reduced from running every 50 minutes to running every 60 minutes. Supplemental Bx15 service was provided between Fordham Road and 149th Street to maintain the Bx55's frequency. To maintain the transfer to the subway, bus-subway transfers were accepted on the Bx15 overnight. The change was made to eliminate duplicative service, which was lightly patronized. In addition, an unnecessary turn at 147th Street was eliminated. This awkward turn was initially done because a support pillar of the Third Avenue Elevated had prevented northbound buses from turning directly from Willis Avenue to Third Avenue. This pillar had been gone for some time.[83]

• Original western terminus was at Allerton Avenue-White Plains Road (​ trains). Service was extended to its current terminus in July 1974, in addition to having a former split branched service to Fordham Center.
• Split branched service to Bedford Park originally ran all times except nights until December 1991, when it started running weekday rush hours, early weekend mornings and late evenings only.
• In March 2000, the MTA announced plans to simplify Bx26 and Bx28 service, which had complicated service patterns. The Bx26 duplicated the Bx28 along Kingsbridge Road and Jerome Avenue during certain times of day, and he two routes had complicated service patterns that changed significantly by day of week and time of day, with multiple western terminals. At the time, Bx26 service operated between Earhart Lane and Erskine Place in Co-op City to 192nd Street and Valentine Avenue in Fordham via Allerton Avenue and Bedford Park Boulevard on weekdays between 7 and 10 p.m., Saturdays between 9 a.m. and 10:30 p.m., and Sundays between 10 a.m. and 9:30 p.m.. During three times on weekdays (6:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m., 4:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., and 10:00 p.m. to 11:30 p.m.), and early mornings and late evenings on Saturdays (7 a.m. to 9 a.m., and 10:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m.), and Sundays (7 a.m. to 10 a.m. and 9:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m.), service was also provided to Paul Avenue and Bedford Park Boulevard. Selected westbound Bx26 trips in the AM peak period ran directly from the southern portion of Co-op City to Allerton Avenue, bypassing Co-op City Sections 2, 3, and 4 via Asch Loop. The Bx28 operated between Earhart Lane and Erskine Place in Co-op City to Valentine Avenue and East 192nd Street in Fordham via Gun Hill Road, Bainbridge Avenue, and Jerome Avenue on weekdays between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. and on Saturdays between 10 a.m. and 10 p.m..

Additional Bx28 service operated to Valentine Avenue and East 192nd Street on weekdays between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m., and on Saturdays between 10 a.m. and 10 p.m.[102]
• The service changes would provide service to each western terminal on weekdays, Saturdays, and Sundays during consistent time periods. Bx26 service would terminate at Paul Avenue and Bedford Park Boulevard between 6 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. daily, and service would no longer run to 192nd Street and Valentine Avenue. The number of western terminals for the Bx28 would be reduced from three to two, with service terminating at 192nd Street and Valentine Avenue between 5 a.m. and 12 a.m. weekdays, and 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. on weekends. When service operated more frequently than every ten minutes, every other bus would terminate at 206th Street and Bainbridge Avenue. Buses would no longer short-turn at Mosholu Parkway and Jerome Avenue. Late night service would continue to terminate at 206th Street and Bainbridge Avenue. In addition, Bx26 Asch Loop bypass service that ran directly to the southern portion of Co-op City would be expanded in the morning to run between 6:20 a.m. and 8:20 a.m., and would be added in the afternoon rush hour between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m.. This service would be renumbered to the Bx25 to reduce rider confusion. The changes would save $150,000 annually. The changes took effect on September 10, 2000.[103][104][102]
• Service originally ran all of Co-op City from July 1974 to June 2010.

This service would be renumbered to the Bx25 to reduce rider confusion. The changes would save $150,000 annually. The changes took effect on September 10, 2000.[102][103][104]
• Service originally ran all of Co-op City from July 1974 to June 2010, when section 1-2-3 service was split off into Bx38 due to budget-related service reductions. However, service to Asch Loop was added on June 29, 2014.[64][107]

• Original south-western terminus was at Mott Haven-Third Avenue/East 141st Street. Service was extended to Lincoln Avenue-East 136th Street (near Third Avenue–138th Street (​ trains)) in July 1974 and was later cut back to Third Avenue–149th Street (​ trains) in December 2002.
• Originally did not have late night service until it was first instituted in November 2005.
• Original northern terminus was at Wakefield–241st Street ( train). Service was later cut back to Gun Hill Road (​ trains) in June 2010 due to budget-related service reductions, and was replaced by an extended Bx39 service.[58][64]
• Former rush-hour Limited-Stop service was introduced on September 11, 1995, operating on weekdays between 6:45 and 9 a.m. and between 3:45 and 6:15 p.m, and making limited stops between East 211th Street and East 138th Street.[126][127]
• In December 1999, the MTA announced a proposed change to service between Third Avenue and East 138th Street and East 134th Street and Alexander Avenue to enable the dispatcher at East 138th Street to better supervise service on the route, and to avoid traffic near Bruckner Boulevard. Bx41 would now share a terminal with the Bx21 and Bx32 at Lincoln Avenue and East 138th Street. After stopping at East 138th Street on Third Avenue, southbound service had previously run south on Lincoln Avenue and east along East 134th Street to its terminal. Northbound service continued east on East 134th Street, north on Alexander Avenue, west on East 135th Street, and north along Lincoln and Third Avenues. Only 100 daily riders alighted and only 200 daily riders boarded in the discontinued segment south of East 136th Street. The change was expected to save $50,000 a year. The change would take effect in early 2000.[128]
• In July 2000, the MTA announced a roposed revision in the route's terminal loop at East 241st Street and Baychester Avenue. Instead of making a U-turn to head back west on East 241st Street and head south on White Plains Road, northbound buses would turn east White Plains Road at East 238th Street (Nereid Avenue), and then north onto Baychester Avenue before merging onto East 241st Street. The terminal would be moved from the south side of East 241st Street at Baychester Avenue to the north side of East 241st Street at Cranford Avenue. Two northbound bus stops on White Plains Road at East 239th Street and East 240th Street would be discontinued. The change would take effect in fall 2000.[129]
• In March 2002, a plan to revise service on the Bx1, Bx2, and Bx41 routes in Mott Haven by extending the Bx1 and Bx2 to a new terminal at Lincoln Avenue and East 138th Street and truncating the Bx41 to East 149th Street and Third Avenue was announced. The Bx41 would have a terminal loop consisting of Third Avenue, East 146th Street, Willis Avenue, East 147th Street, and Third Avenue. At the time, the Bx1 had terminated at the 138th Street–Grand Concourse subway station, while the Bx2 had terminated at East 147th Street and Third Avenue near the Third Avenue–149th Street subway station. The changes were intended to improve service reliability on the Bx1 and Bx2 by consolidating route supervision at their new terminal. There was no dispatcher at Grand Concourse and East 138th Street, and without full supervision, trips were often out of order when they merged at Grand Concourse and East 165th Street. The truncation of the Bx41 made the changes cost-neutral and ensured there would not be too many buses in the vicinity of East 138th Street and Lincoln Avenue. About 1,000 Bx41 daily riders would need to transfer with the changes.[50] The changes took effect on September 8, 2002.[51]
• In 2009, as part of Phase II of the MTA and New York City Department of Transportation (DOT)'s Select Bus Service (SBS), both the Third Avenue and Webster Avenue bus corridors were studied for the implementation of a north-to-south bus rapid transit service through the South Bronx.[130][131]
• The Bx41 along Webster Avenue was chosen for Select Bus Service since it would serve more riders and was wider, making it easier to accommodate bus lanes.[132] In April 2013, the MTA Board approved the planned replacement of limited-stop service with Select Bus Service. The Bx41 SBS would make all the same stops as limited-stop service except or northbound stops at 189th Street and Westchester Avenue. Bx41 SBS service would use a new off-street stop at the Gun Hill Intermodal Terminal to improve the connection to the subway.[133] The span of service would increase from being peak-hour-only to operating between 6 a.m. and 9:30 p.m.. Service on the Bx41 would increased 30 percent on weekdays, 22 percent on Saturdays, and 51 percent on Sundays. Offset bus lanes were installed between East 165th Street and East Gun Hill Road. Due to street modifications related to the bus lane at Tremont Avenue, westbound Bx36 and eastbound Bx40 and Bx42 buses were rerouted off one block of Webster Avenue and onto Valentine Avenue between East 178th Street and Tremont Avenue. As part of the changes, the Bx55 Limited along Third Avenue would be discontinued, and service between The Hub and Fordham Plaza would be replaced by the Bx15 Limited. The Bx15 Limited would run along the route of the Bx15 local between Fordham Plaza and 12th Avenue and West 125th Street in Manhattan at all times except late nights and weekends, and the Bx15 local would be truncated to The Hub when the Bx15 limited operated. It would make all the same stops as the Bx55 Limited south of Fordham Road except for East 174th Street, and the southbound East 161st Street stop. Service between Gun Hill Road and White Plains Road and Fordham Road would be discontinued; alternate Bx55 Limited trips had previously run along this section, making the same stops as the Bx41 Limited. The Bx41 change took effect on June 30, 2013, while the Bx15 changes took effect on July 1, 2013.[134][135] The implementation of Bx41 SBS increased operating costs by 1.28millionayear,including1.28 million a year, including 1.28millionayear,including700,000 in cost savings from replacing the Bx55 with the Bx15 Limited[131]

As part of the MTA's 2017 Fast Forward Plan to speed up mass transit service, a draft plan for a reorganization of Bronx bus routes was proposed in draft format in June 2019, with a final version published in October 2019.[140] Many of the draft proposals were not included in the final version. These changes were set to take effect in mid-2020.[141][142] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the implementation of the bus redesign was postponed by two years.[143][144][145] The Bx28 and Bx34 routes were originally proposed to be modified as well, but those changes were reverted in late 2021.[145][146] The redesign took effect on June 26, 2022.[147][148][149]

On July 1, 1974, a few routes were combined with then-existing routes or eliminated, and most prefixed routes were renumbered:[150]

• Formerly Bx55x; the new route replaced the Bronx portion of the Third Avenue Elevated Line on April 29, 1973, stopping only at its former stations, and allowing free transfers to intersecting subway lines.[84][162]
• Service was one of the few routes in the city to allow free transfers to the subway prior to the introduction of the MetroCard in 1993, and one of the first routes to use the MetroCard.[163] Paper tickets were used prior to the use of MetroCard for free transfers at Third Avenue–149th Street.[164]
• Some trips also ran to Yankee Stadium (​ trains and train) via East 161st Street until June 1995, stopping only at Washington Avenue and River Avenue.[153][165][166] The branch was discontinued to improve service for riders and to improve reliability. While only 5% of riders used this branch, it received 21% of service on weekdays and 25% of service on weekends. Bx6 service was increased to mitigate the need to transfer to get to Yankee Stadium. In addition, free transfers were allowed between the Bx55 and intersecting bus routes, changing the route from a rapid transit replacement to a limited-stop branch of the Bx15.[164]
• In 1995, New York City Transit was in the process of building a weather-protected intermodal terminal at Third Avenue–149th Street.[164]
• Southbound buses originally traveled via Washington Avenue and service between East 161st Street and 149th Street ran at Melrose Avenue in both directions until February 1984, when all service was shifted over to Third Avenue.
• Service was slowly cut after the MetroCard's introduction with free transfers to other buses and the subway. All late night buses terminated at Fordham Plaza on September 10, 1995.
• Late night service (between 1 a.m. and 4:30 a.m.) was eliminated on September 8, 1996, and was merged with Bx15 service.[82] Supplemental Bx15 service was provided between Fordham Road and 149th Street to maintain the Bx55's frequency. To maintain the transfer to the subway, bus-subway transfers were accepted on the Bx15 overnight. The change was made to eliminate duplicative service, which was lightly patronized.[83]
• Select weekday and all weekend trips terminated at Fordham Plaza in February 2004, and all weekend and evening services were eliminated on June 27, 2010.[58][64]
• All Bx55 service was discontinued on June 28, 2013. Third Avenue service was replaced by the Bx15 local and Limited-Stop services, while Webster Avenue service north of Fordham Plaza was replaced by the Bx41 Local and Select Bus Stop services.[84]
