via White Plains Road Posted December 23, 2011 Share #2 Posted December 23, 2011 Is it the Q-44? Hmmmm no....its the S78 I believe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortline Bus Posted December 23, 2011 Share #3 Posted December 23, 2011 Hmmmm no....its the S78 I believe! Yup it's the S78 local bus in the city. The longest express bus route is the X17. While the longest interborough local bus is the Q60. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B35 via Church Posted December 23, 2011 Share #4 Posted December 23, 2011 You would think it's the Q44... but nah bro.... Since they truncated the S74 to Bricktowne & made the 78 longer, I concur.... gotta be the S78.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BM5 via Woodhaven Posted December 23, 2011 Share #5 Posted December 23, 2011 For me The longest routes are: Queens local: Q60 Queens Express: X63 Bronx Local: Bx12 Bronx Express: BxM3 Manhattan: M5 Brooklyn Local: B44 Brooklyn Express : BM5 Staten Island Local: S78/S59 (weekday only version) Staten Island Express :X17/X24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gotham Bus Co. Posted December 23, 2011 Share #6 Posted December 23, 2011 Queens local: Q60 Not quite (according to Google Maps)... Q60: 10.6 miles Q44: 13.5 miles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorgor Posted December 23, 2011 Share #7 Posted December 23, 2011 If it's by time rather than distance, it's definitely the M5. Not only does it run straight down the middle of Manhattan on some of the most congested streets in the city, it also goes almost the entire length of Riverside Drive, which is two ways and has no timed lights. On weekdays, the LIMITED that leaves Washington Heights at 1:00 arrives at South Ferry at 2:53, which is just under two hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gotham Bus Co. Posted December 23, 2011 Share #8 Posted December 23, 2011 Since they truncated the S74 to Bricktowne & made the 78 longer, I concur.... gotta be the S78.... Google Maps agrees... S74: 16.6 miles S78: 19.3 miles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark1447 Posted December 24, 2011 Share #9 Posted December 24, 2011 Not quite (according to Google Maps)... Q60: 10.6 miles Q44: 13.5 miles The Q60 would be considered the longest route to some because it makes a lot of stops, while the Q44 makes limited.

Gotham Bus Co. Posted December 24, 2011 Share #10 Posted December 24, 2011 The Q60 would be considered the longest route to some because it makes a lot of stops, while the Q44 makes limited. The number of stops is irrelevant. The title of this thread directly implies a reference to distance, so that is the criterion that counts. The Q44 IS longer than the Q60 because 13.5 miles IS a longer distance than 10.6 miles. Period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRG Posted December 24, 2011 Share #12 Posted December 24, 2011 To be a little technical, the S74 can still be considered the longest if you include the school trippers that go to Tottenville. Otherwise, the S78 is the longest in the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea you are definitely right about that one, I hate driving the m5, its too long and has too many stops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only does it run straight down the middle of Manhattan on some of the most congested streets in the city, it also goes almost the entire length of Riverside Drive.... Remember that Riverside Drive extends from 72nd Street to Dyckman (200th) Street, which is 127 blocks. The (M5) uses only 63 blocks of it (72nd to 135th), or just under half.

WannaBeMTA12 Posted December 31, 2011 Share #16 Posted December 31, 2011 i thought it was the Q42 or the former Q14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattTrain Posted December 31, 2011 Share #17 Posted December 31, 2011 I thought the B6 (B6) and B82 (B82) were the longest routes in Brooklyn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriboroughBridge Posted January 1, 2012 Share #18 Posted January 1, 2012 What about the (B6)? that route seems pretty damn long, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
checkmatechamp13 Posted January 1, 2012 Share #19 Posted January 1, 2012 i thought it was the Q42 or the former Q14. The Q42 is one of the shortest routes in the 5 boroughs, and the Q14 was on the shorter end of the spectrum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acela Express Posted January 1, 2012 Share #20 Posted January 1, 2012 According to MTA.info: Longest rides: The longest local bus routes are Staten Island's S78, which travels 16.5 miles from the St George Ferry Terminal to Main Street in Tottenville and the S74 route, also in Staten Island, which is 17.8 miles long. mta.info | Facts and Figures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That stat being factual is no longer the case.... They should update it to reflect the current mileages of the S74 & S78.... Their respective southern end terminals has been changed since then (since that stat was true)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KNIGHTRIDER3:16 Posted January 1, 2012 Share #22 Posted January 1, 2012 Somebody needs to check the QM5 EXP -Midtown34st - Glen oaks or the QM6 N.S.T before I hear about the X17j. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BM5 via Woodhaven Posted January 2, 2012 Share #23 Posted January 2, 2012 I thought the B6 (B6) and B82 (B82) were the longest routes in Brooklyn. The B82 comes in as the 2nd longest bus route in Brooklyn What about the (B6)? that route seems pretty damn long, no? The B6 comes in 3rd or 4th place if you compare it to the B15 which look about the same distance. The B44 is the longest in Brooklyn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysterious2train Posted January 2, 2012 Share #24 Posted January 2, 2012 The B6 is definitely longer than the B44. If you want to see for yourselves, map out their routes on Google Maps... I got NB B44 as ~9.9 miles (SB B44 is a little shorter due to the lesser amount of turns it has make, I got around 9.3 miles for it), and WB B6 as ~10.8 miles Even leaving room for some error on my part, the B6 still clearly has the edge. I got ~10.4 miles for the Westbound B82 and ~12.5 miles for the Southbound M5. Eastbound Q60 I got ~10.6 miles and ~14.2 miles for the Southbound Q44. Northbound M101 I got ~10.8 miles, give or take a little bit. I would imagine the M3 is similar. By comparison, M15 actually isn't all that long, only ~8.6 miles starting from the SBS loop in South Ferry. I might have made a mistake somewhere up there, but Google Maps makes a good ballpark estimate of route's lengths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datDude Posted January 2, 2012 Share #25 Posted January 2, 2012 For me The longest routes are:Queens local: Q60 Queens Express: X63 Bronx Local: Bx12 Bronx Express: BxM3 Manhattan: M5 Brooklyn Local: B44 Brooklyn Express : BM5 Staten Island Local: S78/S59 (weekday only version) Staten Island Express :X17/X24 I would think the Bx39 is longer than the Bx12. 241st to Clasons Point. That's essentially Mt Vernon to East River. Bx40/42 looks longer as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
