The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) operates a number of bus routes in the Bronx, New York, United States. Many of them are the direct descendants of streetcar lines (see list of streetcar lines in the Bronx). All local buses are operated by the New York City Transit Authority, except for the Bx23, which is operated by the MTA Bus Company.

Eight Metro-North Railroad feeder routes are operated by Logan Bus Company to and from the Riverdale and Spuyten Duyvil stations, under contract with the brand name of Hudson Rail Link.[1] See Hudson Rail Link for more details.

  • Replaced Ogden Avenue Line streetcars on October 25, 1947; formerly the Bx37 and Bx49.
  • Original branched north-western terminus of the former Bx49 was at Union Place-Woodycrest Avenue. Service was extended to the Morrisania neighborhood at Walton Avenue-East 167th Street in July 1974.
  • Former Bx49 service was rerouted away from Morrisania, and started serving Washington Heights with former Bx37 service via one-way directions at Woodycrest Avenue and Anderson Avenue in 1977.
  • Former Bx49 split branched service became part of the Bx13 in February 1984.

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.[69]

Proposed bus route changes[]

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. Many of the draft proposals were not included in the final version. These changes were set to take effect in mid-2020.[114][115] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the implementation of the bus redesign was postponed to mid-2022.[116][117]

If a route is not being changed, it will not be listed here. Changes to the M100, M125, Q44, and Q50 routes are not listed here. For a list of changes to the M100 and M125 bus routes, see List of bus routes in Manhattan § Proposed bus route changes. For a list of changes to the Q44 and Q50 bus routes, see List of bus routes in Queens § Proposed new bus routes.[118]

  • 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.[70][130]
  • 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.[131] Paper tickets were used prior to the use of MetroCard for free transfers at Third Avenue–149th Street.[132]

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.

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.[69]
  • 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.[49][54]
  • 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.[70]
