'''Select Bus Service''' ('''SBS'''; stylized as '''+'''<span style="font-weight:900;">select</span>'''bus'''service) is a service provided by the [[Metropolitan Transportation Authority]] (MTA)'s [[MTA Regional Bus Operations|Regional Bus Operations]] for [[limited-stop]] bus routes with some [[bus rapid transit]] features in [[New York City]]. The first SBS route was implemented in 2008 to improve speed and reliability on long, busy corridors.

SBS routes use vehicle-segregated, camera-enforced [[Bus lanes in New York City|bus lanes]]; sidewalk extensions for bus stops; relatively long distances between stops; vehicular turn restrictions along corridors; and next-bus travel information screens. The first route was the [[Bx12 (New York City bus)|Bx12]] along [[Fordham Road]] and the [[Pelham Parkway (road)|Pelham Parkway]]; {{As of|2019|07|alt=as of July 2019}}, the system has expanded to twenty SBS routes along seventeen corridors. Twenty more routes are proposed through 2027. In summer 2018, the MTA announced that it was considering delaying the implementation of SBS routes outside Manhattan until 2021 because of the city's upcoming bus-network redesign.

==History==
In 2002, Schaller Consulting conducted a study on potential bus rapid transit services in New York City.<ref name="TransAlt-BRTNYC-June2002">{{cite web|title=Bus Rapid Transit For New York City|url=http://www.schallerconsult.com/pub/BRT_for_NYC.pdf|publisher=Schaller Consulting, [[Transportation Alternatives]], [[New York Public Interest Research Group]]|access-date=December 24, 2015|date=June 2002}}</ref><ref name="SBS-M15Meeting-Sep2009" /> In 2004, the MTA in conjunction with the [[New York City Department of Transportation]] and [[New York State Department of Transportation]], performed an initial study on bus rapid transit, with 80 corridors studied citywide.<ref name="SBS-M15Meeting-Sep2009">{{cite web|title=First Avenue/Second Avenue SBS Community Advisory Committee Meeting|url=http://www.nyc.gov/html/brt/downloads/pdf/2009-09-23-brt-1st2nd-cac2.pdf|website=[[Government of New York City|nyc.gov]]|publisher=[[Metropolitan Transportation Authority]], [[New York City Department of Transportation]]|access-date=March 7, 2016|date=September 23, 2009}}</ref><ref name="NYCBRT-2004">{{cite web|title=Bus Rapid Transit: NYCBRT Study|url=http://www.mta.info/mta/planning/brt/brt_presentation.pdf|publisher=[[Metropolitan Transportation Authority]], [[New York City Department of Transportation]], [[New York State Department of Transportation]]|access-date=February 15, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050512082953/http://www.mta.info/mta/planning/brt/brt_presentation.pdf|archive-date=May 12, 2005|url-status=dead|date=2004}}</ref><ref name="MTADOT-Bx12SBS-Jan2009">{{cite web|title=Select Bus Service on the Bx12: A BRT Partnership Between the New York City DOT and MTA New York City Transit|url=http://www.nyc.gov/html/dot/downloads/pdf/beaton_presentation_sbs_2010trb.pdf|publisher=[[Metropolitan Transportation Authority]], [[New York City Department of Transportation]]|access-date=March 4, 2016|date=January 12, 2009}}</ref> 

In late 2004, the MTA identified five corridors for implementation of bus rapid transit, one in each of the five boroughs: the [[Fordham Road]]/[[Pelham Parkway (road)|Pelham Parkway]] corridor in [[the Bronx]], [[First Avenue (Manhattan)|First Avenue]] and [[Second Avenue (Manhattan)|Second Avenue]] in [[Manhattan]], [[Merrick Boulevard]] in [[Queens]], [[Nostrand Avenue]] in [[Brooklyn]], and [[Hylan Boulevard]] in [[Staten Island]]. Four [[bus priority]] corridors were identified for implementation or expansion (three in [[Manhattan]], one in [[the Bronx]]): [[Madison Avenue]] (expansion), [[Fifth Avenue]], [[34th Street (Manhattan)|34th Street]], and [[Webster Avenue]].<ref name="MTADOT-Bx12SBS-Jan2009" /><ref name="A"/><ref name="NYCBRT-Merrick-2007">{{cite web|title=Bus Rapid Transit: NYCBRT Study; ITS-NY Conference|url=http://www.its-ny.org/pdf/Allpresentations.pdf#page=111|publisher=[[Metropolitan Transportation Authority]], [[New York City Department of Transportation]], [[New York State Department of Transportation]]|access-date=April 10, 2016|date=June 8, 2007}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gothamgazette.com/graphics/2008/04/BRT_Ideas_Template.jpg|title=Map of BRT ideas in New York City|access-date=July 1, 2008}}</ref><ref name="TA"/> The [[Merrick Boulevard buses|Merrick Boulevard corridor]] was eventually scrapped because of community opposition related to loss of parking.<ref name="SI"/><ref name="Q">{{cite news|url=http://www.zwire.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=18201466&BRD=2731&PAG=461&dept_id=574905&rfi=6%5c|title=Merrick Parking In Doubt As Rapid Transit Nears|first=Joel|last=Weickgenant|newspaper=Queens Chronicle|date=April 12, 2007|access-date=July 1, 2008}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|author=Staten Island Advance |url=http://www.silive.com/news/index.ssf/2009/06/staten_island_pols_seek_meetin.html |title=Staten Island pols seek meeting to discuss Bus Rapid Transit on Hylan Boulevard |date=June 15, 2009 |publisher=SILive.com |access-date=April 28, 2014}}</ref> The corridor is being considered again as part of the Bus Forward study in 2017.<ref name=":16" />

Key features of bus rapid transit include dedicated lanes, alignment of lanes to reduce conflicts with other vehicles, frequent service, off-vehicle fare collection, sheltered stations, [[high-level platform|platform-level boarding]], and [[intelligent transportation systems]] (ITS) features such as [[transit signal priority]].<ref name=cham>{{cite thesis |title=Understanding bus service reliability : a practical framework using AVL/APC data |last=Cham |first=Laura Cecilia |year=2006 |publisher=Massachusetts Institute of Technology|hdl = 1721.1/34381|type=Thesis }}</ref>{{rp|99}} A 2011 study by the [[Institute for Transportation and Development Policy]] (ITDP) determined that the SBS system was best classified as "Not BRT" because it lacked many of these [[BRT Standard]] features.<ref name=ITDP>{{cite web |last1=Weinstock |first1=Annie |last2=Hook |first2=Walter |last3=Replogle |first3=Michael |last4=Cruz |first4=Ramon |title=Recapturing Global Leadership in Bus Rapid Transit |url=https://www.itdp.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/20110526ITDP_USBRT_Report-HR.pdf |publisher=[[Institute for Transportation and Development Policy]] |date=May 2011 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170125041845/https://www.itdp.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/20110526ITDP_USBRT_Report-HR.pdf |archive-date=January 25, 2017 |pages=45–46}}</ref>

A seventh corridor, and the third for Manhattan, the [[M60 (New York City bus)|M60]] [[125th Street (Manhattan)|125th Street]]–[[Triborough Bridge]]–[[Astoria Boulevard]] bus route to LaGuardia Airport, was converted to SBS on May 25, 2014; local service was replaced by other routes running alongside the route of the M60 (the [[Bx7, Bx20, and M100 buses|M100]], [[Third and Lexington Avenues Line|M101]], [[Bx15 and M125 buses|Bx15]], and [[Q19 (New York City bus)|Q19]]).<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://web.mta.info/capitaldashboard/pdf/Milestones_Report.pdf |title=MTA Capital Milestone Report (2010–2014) |access-date=September 18, 2016 |archive-date=October 8, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181008084806/http://web.mta.info/capitaldashboard/pdf/Milestones_Report.pdf |url-status=dead }}</ref> An eighth Select Bus Service route was planned in the 2014–2017 Financial Plan.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://web.mta.info/mta/budget/pdf/Adopted_Budget_February_Financial_Plan_2014-2017.pdf|title=mta.info &#124; 2014–2017 MTA Financial Plan |publisher=Web.mta.info |access-date=April 28, 2014}}</ref> The eighth Select Bus Service corridor (ninth route overall), and the fourth in Manhattan, was for the [[M86 (New York City bus)|M86]] running on [[86th Street (Manhattan)|86th Street]], which was originally scheduled to start running on June 28, 2015, but pushed back to July 13, 2015; it did not include a major change in stops.<ref name="dnainfo 20141015">{{cite web|last=Frost|first=Emily|date=October 15, 2014|url=http://www.dnainfo.com/new-york/20141015/upper-west-side/m86-crosstown-line-get-select-bus-service|title=M86 Crosstown Line to Get Select Bus Service|work=DNAinfo New York|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150122035612/http://www.dnainfo.com/new-york/20141015/upper-west-side/m86-crosstown-line-get-select-bus-service|archive-date=January 22, 2015}}</ref>

The ninth corridor, and the second for Brooklyn, is the [[B46 (New York City bus)|B46]] on [[Utica Avenue]].

In September 2016, the eleventh corridor (twelfth route overall) and the second for Queens, the [[Q70 (New York City bus)|Q70]], was rebranded as the "LaGuardia Link" and became a SBS route. As opposed to other SBS routes, the Q70 is wrapped in a light blue scheme with clouds and airplanes in order to encourage more people to use public transportation when using the airport. This marked MTA Bus's first SBS route, as well as the second for Queens and the eleventh overall.<ref name="Gothamist-CuomoLGALink-2016">*{{cite web|url=http://gothamist.com/2016/06/15/laguardia_link.php|title=Cuomo Drops Slick New LaGuardia Renderings & Hopeful Select Bus News|first=Miranda|last=Katz|date=June 15, 2016|website=Gothamist|access-date=June 16, 2016|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160618075215/http://gothamist.com/2016/06/15/laguardia_link.php|archive-date=June 18, 2016}}

A temporary [[M14 SBS (New York City bus)|M14 Select Bus Service]] route was proposed for implementation in early 2019, in preparation for the [[14th Street Tunnel shutdown]]. This route would have run between Tenth Avenue and Stuyvesant Cove Ferry, with local service on the M14A and M14D.

All current SBS corridors are enforced by cameras restricting non-buses in these lanes on weekdays where the bus lane is curbside, with the bus lanes marked by red paint. Where the bus lane is an offset lane (that is, one lane away from the curb), non-bus traffic is restricted at all times except for emergencies.<ref name="TA" /><section end="corridors" />

== Current routes ==
Currently, SBS operates twenty different bus lines on seventeen different corridors. 

By order of implementation, SBS was placed on the Bx12, M15, M34, M34A, S79, Bx41, B44, M60, M86, Q44, B46, Q70, M23, M79, Bx6, Q52, Q53, B82, M14A, and M14D routes. 

SBS replaced nearly-identical limited-stop service on the Bx12, M15, Bx41, B44, Q44, B46, Q70, Q52, Q53, and B82 where corresponding local bus service still operates (except on the Q44, whose nighttime local variant was eliminated and replaced with the full-time SBS route, and the Q70, which had no local equivalent before the conversion). The Bx6 SBS was split from the Bx6 local, which had no limited-stop variant prior to SBS implementation on that route. The B46 SBS omitted the Broadway section of the LTD route, while the B82 SBS did not replace service along the original B82 LTD portion between Bay 37th St and Coney Island. 

For the other routes, all service was converted from local to SBS, and numerous local stops were combined or omitted. The Bx12, M15, M34, M34A, S79, Bx41, B44, B46, Bx6, and Q52 routes run the whole day, while the M60, M86, Q44, Q70, M23, M79, Q53, M14A, and M14D routes run at all times. The B82 is the first and only SBS line to not run on late nights and weekends.

The '''Bx12 Limited''' was the first route to be converted into a Select Bus Service line, the '''Bx12 SBS'''. It was placed into service in June 2008 replacing limited stop service with SBS on this line. Both Bx12 Select Bus Service and Bx12 local are based out of the [[Gun Hill Bus Depot]]. During late nights, the corridor is served by the Bx12 local service, which operates 24/7.<ref>{{cite web |work=mta.info |title=Bx12 Select Bus Service schedule |date=June 23, 2008 |access-date=July 1, 2008 |url=http://web.mta.info/nyct/bus/schedule/bronx/bx012scur.pdf}}</ref>

{{Main|First and Second Avenues Line}}
The '''M15 Limited''' became the '''M15 SBS''' on October 10, 2010, which replaced limited stop service with SBS on this line. Unlike the former Limited, the M15 SBS makes limited stops south of Houston St, and only runs between 126 Street and South Ferry.  St Mark's Place and East 72nd Street were also eliminated. Originally based out of the [[126th Street Bus Depot]], since January 2015, M15 Select Bus Service is based out of the [[Mother Clara Hale Bus Depot]], while the M15 local is based out of the [[Tuskegee Airmen Bus Depot]].

{{Main|S79 (New York City bus)}}

The '''S79 SBS''' route began in September 2012. While the routing was left mostly intact, the S79 had all local service eliminated and replaced by local service on the S59 route along Richmond Avenue and the S78 route along Hylan Boulevard. The route was straightened through New Springville to bypass the [[Yukon Bus Depot]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Hylan Boulevard Transportation Improvement Study|url=http://web.mta.info/mta/planning/sbs/docs/Hylan_Boulevard_July2012_Report.pdf|publisher=[[Metropolitan Transportation Authority]], [[New York City Department of Transportation]]|date=July 2012|access-date=September 26, 2016}}</ref><ref name=":8">{{Cite web|url=http://web.mta.info/mta/planning/sbs/docs/Hylan_Boulevard_Final_Report.pdf|title=S79 on Hylan Boulevard +selectbusservice Progress Report|date=2013|website=[[Metropolitan Transportation Authority]]|access-date=September 26, 2016}}</ref> This route uses rigid 40-foot Nova LFS diesel buses, and is the only SBS line that does not utilize off-board fare collection. It is one of two SBS lines in the 5 boroughs that do not use 60-foot articulated buses, along with the B82 SBS, as well as the only SBS line to not have blue destination signs until July 2017. Riders must pay the fare on board, as they do on local, limited-stop, and express buses.<ref name=":8" /> The S79 Select Bus Service is based out of the Yukon Bus Depot.<ref>{{cite web|title=MTA Bus Operations Committee Meeting – May 2012|url=http://web.mta.info/mta/news/books/pdf/120521_1130_BUS.pdf|date=May 2011|access-date=May 21, 2012}}</ref>

Northbound is towards Brooklyn and southbound is towards Staten Island. The S79 SBS is {{convert|14.8|mi|km}} long.

The '''B44 SBS''' route began in November 2013, replacing the '''B44 Limited''' service with Select Bus Service. Initially planned for the end of 2011, then later the summer of 2012, the start date was pushed to November 2013 as the buses for the service did not arrive until early 2013.<ref name="Board meeting agenda 7/22 pages 7.1-7.7 (July 2013)">{{cite web|title=Transit & Bus Committee Meeting: July 2013|date=July 2013|url=http://www.mta.info/mta/news/books/pdf/130722_1030_Transit_Bus.pdf|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131004212828/http://www.mta.info/mta/news/books/pdf/130722_1030_Transit_Bus.pdf|archive-date=October 4, 2013|url-status=dead|publisher=[[Metropolitan Transportation Authority]]}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=+selectbusservice Nostrand Avenue/Rogers Avenue Newsletter 1/Summer 2011  |date=Summer 2011 |access-date=July 28, 2011 |url=http://www.nyc.gov/html/brt/downloads/pdf/201107_nostrand_sbs_newsletter.pdf}}</ref> Unlike other SBS routes, this service involved a significant change in route, and approximately 20 limited stops were eliminated.

The '''M60''' operates between the [[Upper West Side]] of Manhattan and [[LaGuardia Airport]], providing crosstown service along [[125th Street (Manhattan)|125th Street]] in Harlem.

The M60 was based out of [[126th Street Depot]] upon implementation as a Select Bus Service route. In January 2015, the M60 moved to the [[Michael J. Quill Bus Depot]], where most Manhattan crosstown routes are based out of, due to the closing of the 126th Street Depot. On April 2, 2023, it was once again moved, this time to [[Mother Clara Hale Depot]], due to roof construction at Michael J. Quill Bus Depot. On January 5, 2025, it was moved back to Michael J. Quill Bus Depot. The stops are listed below, west to east. Stops at the eastern end of the route, within [[LaGuardia Airport]], are marked "Airport Stop".

In 2015, the [[Main Street (Queens)|Main Street]] corridor, along with the parallel [[Kissena Boulevard|Kissena]]/Parsons Boulevards corridor and the 164th Street corridor, was studied by the [[New York City Department of Transportation|NYC Department of Transportation]] for the implementation of SBS between [[Flushing, Queens|Flushing]] and [[Jamaica, Queens]]. The '''Q44 Limited''' route, which formerly made limited stops only during the day, was planned for conversion into a full-time [[bus rapid transit]] line, with local service continuing to be provided by the parallel Q20A/B services.<ref name="NYCgov-BRTQ44Jan222015">{{cite web|title=Flushing To Jamaica Select Bus Service: January 22, 2015: Public Open House|url=http://www.nyc.gov/html/brt/downloads/pdf/2015-01-22-brt-flushingjamaica-pw3-boards.pdf|website=[[Government of New York City|nyc.gov]]|publisher=[[Metropolitan Transportation Authority]], [[New York City Department of Transportation]]|access-date=July 6, 2015|date=January 22, 2015}}</ref><ref name="q44 brt 2015-06-09" /><ref name="TimesLedger-Q44Q25Q65SBS-'15">{{cite web|last1=Toure|first1=Madina|title=NE Queens leaders wary of Select Bus Service proposal|url=http://www.timesledger.com/stories/2015/4/bustransit_tl_2015_01_23_q.html|website=timesledger.com|publisher=Times Ledger|access-date=July 6, 2015|date=January 22, 2015}}</ref><ref name="QnsTribune-MainStSBS-2015">{{cite web|last1=Cronin|first1=Jon|title=DOT Presents Updated SBS Plan For Main St|url=http://queenstribune.com/dot-presents-updated-sbs-plan-for-main-st/|website=queenstribune.com|publisher=Queen Tribune|access-date=July 6, 2015|date=June 4, 2015|archive-date=July 6, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150706145513/http://queenstribune.com/dot-presents-updated-sbs-plan-for-main-st/|url-status=dead}}</ref>

The route began service in November 2015. The Q44 is the first Q-prefixed route to have Select Bus Service, which replaces both the Q44 late-night local and daytime limited-stop buses. Local bus service in Queens is provided by the Q20, while there is no local equivalent in the Bronx. The Q20 and the Q44 SBS are based out of the [[Casey Stengel Depot]].<ref name="q44 sbs">{{cite web | title=Bus Rapid Transit – Flushing To Jamaica | website= nyc.gov | date=November 29, 2015 | url=http://www.nyc.gov/html/brt/html/routes/flushng_jamaica.shtml | access-date=November 29, 2015}}</ref>

=== B46 ===
[[File:Flatlands Av Utica Av td 10.jpg|thumb|A bus on the B46 SBS route]]
{{Main|B46 (New York City bus)}}
<!--{{B46 SBS BRT RDT}}-->
The B46 line is the busiest bus route in Brooklyn and 3rd busiest in the entire city. Select Bus Service began in July 2016, after being originally scheduled for a fall 2015 implementation. The B46 SBS replaced the B46 Limited, making similar stops along Utica Avenue and Malcolm X Boulevard. Unlike the former Limited, the B46 SBS makes limited stops south of Avenue H, and only runs between Kings Plaza and DeKalb Avenue.<ref name="NYCDOT-B46SBS" />

The B46 local was extended along Broadway to replace limited-stop service to the [[Williamsburg Bridge Plaza Bus Terminal]] at all times. Both the B46 local and Select Bus Service are based out of the [[Flatbush Bus Depot]], as is the B44 SBS. The B46 is the second Select Bus Service in Brooklyn, and the first one to not operate during late nights since the B44 in November 2013.<ref name="NYCDOT-B46SBS" />

{{Main|Q70 (New York City bus)}}<!-- {{Q70 SBS BRT RDT}} -->In [[Queens]], the Q70 limited-stop bus between [[Woodside, Queens|Woodside]] and [[LaGuardia Airport]] via the [[Roosevelt Avenue/74th Street (New York City Subway)|Roosevelt Avenue/74th Street]] subway station was implemented in September 2013, replacing the portion of the [[Q33 (New York City bus)|Q33]] local bus that went to LaGuardia Airport.

{{Main|M23 (New York City bus)}}The M23 route has been traditionally crowded, with 4,862,343 riders in 2010 and 3,831,755 riders in 2015, or 15,000 riders a day.

In 2009, the MTA and the [[New York City Department of Transportation]] (NYCDOT) identified the [[14th Street Crosstown Line (surface)|M14A/D]], on parallel [[14th Street (Manhattan)|14th Street]], as a potential corridor for Phase II of SBS, the city's [[bus rapid transit]] system, as well as finalized plans to implement SBS on the [[M16 (New York City bus)|M16]]/[[M34 (New York City bus)|M34]] along the also-parallel [[34th Street (Manhattan)|34th Street]]. The crosstown bus corridors were noted for slow travel speeds.<ref name="DOTMTA-BRTSBSII-2009">{{cite web|url=http://web.mta.info/mta/planning/sbs/docs/intro_to_brt_phase2.pdf|title=Introduction to BUS RAPID TRANSIT PHASE II|date=2009|publisher=[[New York City Department of Transportation]], [[Metropolitan Transportation Authority]]}}</ref> The M23 was originally not planned to be an SBS route, but in 2008, it had been part of a pilot program in which 30 articulated, redesigned SBS buses were rolled out on the M23 for some time.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/15/nyregion/15polka.html|title=It's No Hallucination: Polka-Dot Buses Aim to Cut Travel Time|last=Mascia|first=Jennifer|date=May 15, 2008|website=The New York Times|access-date=September 22, 2016}}</ref>

After lengthy consultation, the M23 was converted to SBS in November 2016, replacing the identical local counterpart bus line. Unlike the former local line, the westbound stop on 5th Avenue and two bi-directional stops on Lexington Avenue are not served by this line. The M23 is based out of the [[Michael J. Quill Bus Depot]]. It is the fifth corridor in Manhattan and the sixth Manhattan bus line to have Select Bus Service.

[[File:2018 New Flyer Xcelsior XN60 CNG Artic 1014 on the Bx6 +Select Bus Service+.jpg|thumb|A bus on the Bx6 SBS route]]
In September 2017, the Bx6 SBS service was split from the existing Bx6 local service. The Bx6 SBS initially operated a similar route to the local, but the eastbound SBS route followed the westbound local route instead of exiting the [[Macombs Dam Bridge]] to [[Jerome Avenue]]. The Bx6 SBS supplements the existing Bx6 local service, making stops at select high-ridership locations and all transfers points to Metro-North and subways.<ref name="MTA-Bx6"/> In late 2019, it was announced that the Bx6 SBS route's eastern terminus would be relocated from [[Hunts Point, Bronx|Hunts Point]] to [[Soundview, Bronx|Soundview]], along the path of the Bx5 route, with the change set to take effect in 2024 once MetroCard has been retired.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://ny.curbed.com/2019/10/22/20926765/mta-nyc-bus-bronx-redesign-transportation|title=MTA's Bronx bus redesign will chop 400 stops and add new routes|last=Spivack|first=Caroline|date=October 22, 2019|website=Curbed NY|access-date=December 1, 2019}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://abc7ny.com/5638098/|title=MTA releases final Bronx bus system overhaul proposal|date=October 22, 2019|website=ABC7 New York|access-date=December 1, 2019}}</ref>

The Bx6 SBS is based out of the [[West Farms Bus Depot]], as is the Bx6 local. It is the third Bronx Bus line to have Select Bus Service and the first one since the Bx41 in June 2013, as well as the first SBS line to run a CNG Fleet. The Bx6 is the MTA's 15th Select Bus Service line to date.<ref name="MTA-Bx6">{{cite web|url=http://www.mta.info/news/2017/08/31/bx6-becomes-mta’s-15th-select-bus-service-route|title=Bx6 Becomes MTA's 15th Select Bus Service Route|work=mta.info}}</ref>

The Bx6 corridor is the first to use bus lanes in the median of the street at the E 161st Street/Sheridan-Sherman Avenues stops, as opposed to [[Bus lanes in New York City#Types of bus lanes|curbside or offset bus lanes]]. The median bus lanes supposedly speeds up traffic by going around [[Double parking|double-parked]] cars.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.ny1.com/nyc/all-boroughs/transit/2017/10/05/bx6-travelling-through-center-of-street-nyc-bronx-goal-quicken-commutes|title=Bronx SBS ride is the first to travel through center of streets|last=Martinez|first=Jose|date=October 5, 2017|work=NY1|access-date=October 8, 2017|publisher=[[Charter Communications]]}}</ref> Originally, a similar provision of median bus lanes was planned for the 34th Street Corridor in Manhattan. A planned "Busway" would have seen both the M34 and M34A SBS lines run along 34th Street in a special two-lane corridor with vehicular traffic travelling in only one direction (westbound after 6th Avenue/Broadway; eastbound after 5th Avenue), this was eventually scrapped and replaced with curbside and offset bus lanes along 34th Street with bus bulbs at selected bus stops (see above). The Bx6 SBS is {{convert|6.2|mi|km}} long.

{{main|B82 (New York City bus)}}<!-- {{B82 RDT}} -->

The [[B82 (New York City bus)|B82]] Limited was converted to Select Bus Service in October 2018. The B82 SBS did not replace limited service between Bay 37th St and Coney Island. The B82 is the 3rd Brooklyn bus line (the MTA's 18th) to have Select Bus Service, and the only SBS line to run on weekdays only. Service on late nights and weekends is provided by the B82 local.<ref name=":0" /> The B82 SBS is based out of the [[East New York Depot]].

The fare for SBS is the same as on all New York City Transit local and limited-stop buses, $2.90, payable with a [[MetroCard]] or coins at booths on each stop, with the exception of the Q70, which is fare-free. The fare can also be paid on board SBS Buses with MTA's new [[OMNY]] fare payment system,<ref>{{Cite web|title=System rollout|url=https://omny.info/system-rollout|access-date=2020-10-19|website=omny.info|language=en}}</ref> by tapping a contactless bank card, smart device or OMNY Card at any OMNY reader at any door, excluding the S79 SBS. Unlike other bus lines in New York City, fare collection for SBS uses a [[proof-of-payment]] system.<ref name="T1"/><ref name="APTA-NYCTBus-2013"/>

Passengers are required to pay their fare before boarding the bus at pay stations located in bus shelters at the designated stops (for customers using UniTicket, which is valid for boarding) or paying the fare on board at any door using OMNY. Once fare payment is made, one must board the bus at that stop within one hour. Boarding can be done via any of the two or three doors (depending on the bus fleet), except on S79 buses, where all passengers board from the front door since fares are paid on board.<ref name="T1"/><ref name="APTA-NYCTBus-2013"/>

New York City Transit fare inspectors (organized in "EAGLE" teams), [[New York City Police Department|NYPD]] officers, or MTA police officers check for proof of payment receipts. OMNY Users will have their payment method validated with a reader carried by the "EAGLE" Team to ensure Proof of Payment. Those unable to produce one are subject to a fine of up to $100. These inspections are conducted randomly, or through the entire bus at specific stations.<ref name="T1">{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/29/nyregion/29bus.html|title=Riders Will Pay Before Boarding, and Save Time, on Revamped Bus Route|first=William|last=Neuman|newspaper=[[The New York Times]]|date=June 29, 2008|access-date=July 1, 2008}}</ref><ref name="APTA-NYCTBus-2013">{{cite web|title=2013 Apta Draft Final Color|url=http://www.apta.com/members/memberprogramsandservices/awards/Documents/2013%20APTA.pdf|publisher=[[American Public Transportation Association]]|access-date=January 20, 2016|date=2013}}</ref>

Proof-of-payment receipts are only valid for the route that stops at the station at which one boards (i.e., an M34/M34A SBS receipt cannot be used on the M15 SBS). When transferring from one SBS route to another, one must obtain a second receipt from that route's fare payment machines. OMNY users must use the same payment method on their next leg of their trip to obtain their free transfer. Free transfers between routes are also provided with [[MetroCard]]s.

=== Fare machines ===
[[File:Staten Island Transit Improvements.jpg|thumb|OMNY readers installed on buses]]
[[File:Ticketing Machines for Select Bus Service.jpg|thumb|left|upright|Ticketing machines used on B44 SBS route]]
Select Bus Service fare machines consist of modified versions of existing MTA and DOT devices. MetroCard payment utilizes MetroCard Fare Collection Machines,<ref name=MTA-Bx121Yr-Oct2009 /> similar in design to ATM/Debit Card [[MetroCard vending machines]] (known as MetroCard Express Machines) used in the [[New York City Subway]], but without touch screens. Coin payment utilizes a modified [[Parkeon]] [[Muni Meter]]. The original machines used on the Bx12 in 2008 consisted of re-purposed versions of MetroCard Express Machines and first-generation Parkeon multi-space devices, which have since been replaced.<ref name=DOTMTA-BRTSBSII-2009 /><ref name="MTA-Bx121Yr-Oct2009">{{cite web|title=Bx12 Select Bus Service One Year Report|url=http://web.mta.info/mta/planning/sbs/docs/Bx12-SBS-OneYearReport.pdf|publisher=[[Metropolitan Transportation Authority]]|access-date=January 8, 2016|date=October 2009}}</ref><ref name="MTA-BronxTale-Bx12SBS">{{cite web|title=A Bronx Tale: Bus Rapid Transit in New York City|url=http://web.mta.info/mta/planning/sbs/docs/Bx12SBS-Presentation.ppt|publisher=[[Metropolitan Transportation Authority]], [[New York City Department of Transportation]]|access-date=January 8, 2016}}</ref><ref name="34SP-SBSMachines-2012">{{cite web|title=Select Bus Service Vending Machine Graphics and Interface Redesign|url=https://www.ida-downtown.org/eweb/docs/2012%20Awards/Public%20Space/Summaries/34th%20Street%20Partnership.pdf|publisher=34th Street Partnership|access-date=January 8, 2016|date=2012}}</ref>

Since 2020, Select Bus Service routes have had OMNY readers mounted on each door, where riders can tap their contactless cards, smart devices, or OMNY cards to pay the fare.

== Fleet ==
{{See also|MTA Regional Bus Operations bus fleet#Local, Limited, and Select Bus Service bus fleet}}

Select Bus Service buses are wrapped in a unique blue paint scheme that identifies them as operating in this particular service. Older buses are painted mostly white, with a blue stripe just below the windows and a teal pattern with plus signs and "+selectbusservice" logos. In March 2016, a new gold-and-blue livery was introduced across the entire MTA fleet.<ref name="MTA-WifiBus-March2016">{{cite news|title=2,042 New Buses to Have Free Wi-Fi and USB Charging Ports by 2020|url=http://www.mta.info/news-governor-cuomo-articulated-buses-buses-wi-fi-new-york-city-transit/2016/03/08/2042-new-buses|access-date=March 9, 2016|work=[[Metropolitan Transportation Authority]]|date=March 8, 2016|archive-date=February 4, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210204035108/https://www.mta.info/news-governor-cuomo-articulated-buses-buses-wi-fi-new-york-city-transit/2016/03/08/2042-new-buses|url-status=dead}}</ref> SBS buses delivered after March 2016 have a variation of this livery, with the teal pattern below the windows and the new gold and blue livery above. 

On the buses with 2016 livery, the Select Bus Service logo is located at the front and sides the bus. Q70 buses contain a unique "LaGuardia Link" livery with clouds and airplane outlines against a turquoise background on the top, as well as the words "LaGuardia Link", the route bullets for the {{NYCS trains|Roosevelt}}, and the [[Long Island Rail Road]] (LIRR) acronym. The bottom of LaGuardia Link buses contain a wave pattern in various shades of teal and blue, with plus signs and the SBS logo on the front of the bus.

All SBS buses display '''+Select Bus''' in the destination sign. Bus stops where SBS buses stop are also identifiable with the SBS branding on the glass shelters, and machines for [[MetroCard]] and coin payment in or near the shelters, except for the S79 SBS, which does not employ off-board fare collection. All buses on the SBS services employ all-door boarding operation, in which each set of doors open simultaneously for easier boarding and alighting, with the exception of the S79 which does not employ all-door boarding.<ref name=DOTMTA-BRTSBSII-2009 />

Upon the debut of Select Bus Service, blue flashing lights on both sides of the destination sign were used to help designate SBS buses from local buses, which have orange lights. While some, including bus operators, claimed the flashing blue lights helped improve travel times for buses, they were controversial due to some drivers mistaking them for emergency vehicles.<ref name="CapitalNY-SBSLights">{{cite news |last1=Rubinstein |first1=Dana |date=March 15, 2013 |title=The M.T.A. dims flashing blue lights, and Select Bus Service stops making so much sense |url=http://www.capitalnewyork.com/article/politics/2013/03/8365485/mta-dims-flashing-blue-lights-and-select-bus-service-stops-making-s |url-status=unfit |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130318105531/http://www.capitalnewyork.com/article/politics/2013/03/8365485/mta-dims-flashing-blue-lights-and-select-bus-service-stops-making-s |archive-date=March 18, 2013 |access-date=September 2, 2015 |website=[[Capital New York]] |publisher=Capital New York Media Group}}</ref> The use of the lights also violated the New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law (Article 9, Section 375 (41)).<ref>{{cite news|title=Bright blue beacons on express bus lines may violate state law|last=Donohue|first=Pete|newspaper=New York Daily News|date=October 18, 2010|url=http://www.nydailynews.com/ny_local/2010/10/18/2010-10-18_bright_beacons_on_express_lines_may_violate_state_law_buslight_blues.html|access-date=November 16, 2010}}</ref>  NYS Law states "The use of blue lights on vehicles shall be restricted for use only by a volunteer firefighter" and "may be affixed to a police vehicle and fire vehicle, provided that such blue light or lights shall be displayed on a police vehicle and fire vehicle for rear projection only."<ref>{{cite news|title=NYS GTSC – Vehicle & Traffic Law – Section 375 (41)|url=http://www.nysgtsc.state.ny.us/emer-vt.htm|access-date=November 20, 2010}}</ref> The lights were removed from service in January 2013.<ref name=CapitalNY-SBSLights />

To replace the lights, in July 2015 the MTA began overhauling the front destination signs of buses to display the route in a blue background, as well as a completely blue background that flashes twice when it says +Select Bus (formerly it read +Select Bus Service). At night on some routes, the front destination sign is blue text on an unlit black background. Starting with the Q44 in November 2015, the blue background is kept when the front signage transitions to show the terminal of the route and the main streets traveled. As of July 2017, the SBS fleet on all routes have had their front destination signs overhauled, and new routes that launched after December 2015 came with the new destination signs.<ref name="Pix11-SBSLights-2015">{{cite web|last1=Mocker|first1=Greg|title=Some NYC buses get a new look|url=http://pix11.com/2015/07/08/some-nyc-buses-get-a-new-look/|publisher=[[PIX 11]]|access-date=September 2, 2015|date=July 8, 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|author1=[[NY1]] News|title=MTA Debuts New Select Bus Service Signs|url=http://www.ny1.com/nyc/all-boroughs/news/2015/06/28/mta-debuts-new-select-bus-service-signs.html|publisher=[[NY1]]|access-date=September 2, 2015|date=June 28, 2015}}</ref>
