Traveling by Bus

Traveling by bus is a good way to take in many of New York’s
sights. The city’s 4,000-plus blue-and-white buses cover more
than 200 routes in the five boroughs. Many run 24 hours a
day, every day. The buses are modern, clean, air-conditioned,
and energy-efficient. They are also quite safe and tend not to
get crowded, except during rush hours. Smoking and eating
are forbidden on all public buses, and only service animals
(guide dogs) are allowed on board.
Tickets and Fares every two or three blocks.
