Select Bus Service
Encyclopedia
Select Bus Service marked on the buses as +selectbusservice, is a brand used by MTA Regional Bus Operations
for bus rapid transit
service.
, the MTA identified five corridors for implementation of bus rapid transit, one in each of the five boroughs, in late 2004: the Fordham Road/Pelham Parkway corridor in the Bronx
, First and Second Avenues in Manhattan
, Merrick Boulevard in Queens
, Nostrand Avenue in Brooklyn
, and Hylan Boulevard in Staten Island
. Four bus priority
corridors were also identified for implementation or expansion (three in Manhattan
, one in the Bronx
): Madison Avenue (expansion), Fifth Avenue, 34th Street, and Webster Avenue or Third Avenue. The Merrick Boulevard corridor was eventually scrapped because of community opposition related to loss of parking, and the Hylan Boulevard route was later scrapped for different reasons.
The Select Bus Service program was unveiled to the public on March 25, 2008. At the time of the announcement, the MTA and the mayor had stated that implementation on other corridors was contingent on the passage of congestion pricing
, which ultimately did not make it for a vote in the state Legislature.
The first Select Bus Service corridor, on the Bx12
, was placed into service on June 29, 2008. The next line, the M15
, saw Select Service begun on October 10, 2010 after the delivery of new low-floor buses. The M34/M34A line was started on November 13, 2011. Initially, a 34th Street busway was planned that would require eliminating 34th St as a through street, but it was dropped in favor of the standard SBS model. The B44 line is slated for implementation in January 2013. As noted above, the S79 proposal was scrapped.
All three current SBS corridors are enforced by cameras restricting non-buses in these lanes on weekdays, with the bus lanes marked by red paint.
construction on the Upper East Side
, the southbound 96th Street and 86th Street stations are located at 100th Street and 89th Street, respectively. Southbound transfers from the M15 SBS require walking south to the corresponding streets, and vice versa.
Unlike the Bx12 and M15 Select Bus Service routes, this service uses non-articulated buses.
Buses in Select Bus Service service have a wrap that identifies them as operating in this particular service. All SBS buses display +Select Bus Service+ in the destination sign, and flash blue lights on both sides of the destination sign. Bus stops where +SelectBusService buses stop are also identifiable with the SBS branding on the glass, and machines for MetroCard and coin payment in or near the shelters. In addition, all buses normally operated in SBS service have three doors for easier boarding and alighting.
The flashing blue lights used on the Select Bus Service is controversial and conflicts with New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law (Article 9, Section 375 (41)). 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."
system. Customers must pay their fare before boarding the bus at pay stations located in bus shelters at the designated stops (for customers using UniTicket, the UniTicket is valid for boarding). Once fare payment is made, one must board the bus at that stop within one hour. Boarding can be done via the any of the three doors (2 doors on M34 SBS vehicles). MTA New York City Transit Fare inspectors and police randomly check for proof of payment receipts, with those unable to produce one subject to summons.
In addition, 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.

Vehicle branding
The flashing blue lights used on the Select Bus Service is controversial and conflicts with New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law (Article 9, Section 375 (41)). 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."
Fare and payment
The fare for SBS is the same as on all New York City Transit local and limited-stop buses, $2.25, payable with a MetroCard or coins. Unlike other bus lines in New York City, fare collection for SBS works via a proof-of-paymentProof-of-payment
Proof-of-payment or POP is an honor-based fare collection approach used on many public transportation systems. Instead of checking each passenger as they enter a fare control zone, proof-of-payment requires that each passenger carry a ticket or pass proving that they have paid the fare. Ticket...
system. Customers must pay their fare before boarding the bus at pay stations located in bus shelters at the designated stops (for customers using UniTicket, the UniTicket is valid for boarding). Once fare payment is made, one must board the bus at that stop within one hour. Boarding can be done via the any of the three doors (2 doors on M34 SBS vehicles). MTA New York City Transit Fare inspectors and police randomly check for proof of payment receipts, with those unable to produce one subject to summons.
In addition, 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.
