MTA Bus Ridership
Bus ridership includes all passengers who board buses using a valid MetroCard, cash, transfer, Select Bus Service ticket, or pass. Ridership does not include employees, non-revenue passengers (e.g., children under 44" tall traveling with an adult), and B42 riders boarding inside the paid zone of the Rockaway Parkway L subway subway station.
Average weekday, Saturday, and Sunday ridership includes every weekday, Saturday, and Sunday in the year, except major holidays and days when the bus system was closed or operated fare-free (Saturday, August 27 and Sunday, August 28, 2011 due to Hurricane Irene, and Monday, October 29 through Friday, November 2, 2012 due to Superstorm Sandy). Average weekend ridership is the two-day sum of average Saturday plus average Sunday ridership. Ridership on major holidays (New Year’s Day, Presidents Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas) is included only in the annual total.
The MTA Bus Company was created in early 2005 to take over routes from private bus operators; plans are to eventually merge the MTA New York City Transit buses with MTA Bus.
