What is Select Bus Service?
Select Bus Service is New York City Transit’s new, innovative bus service designed to reduce travel time and increase the level of comfort for customers. Select Bus Service was inaugurated in June 2008 and introduced changes to the way buses operate by incorporating the following elements: • High visibility stations • Bus ways where the road is dedicated to the exclusive use of buses • A service plan that provides an easily understandable route map and schedule • High capacity vehicles • A faster fare collection system where customers pay before boarding • Traffic Signal Priority (TSP) which gives buses priority at traffic lights • System identity and branding which bring a unique and distinguished visibility to the BRT service.
