Gorgor Posted January 23, 2013 #1 Posted January 23, 2013 Besides the M86 which has 2 AM rush hour buses that terminate/start at 86th Street/East End Av, which isn't shown on the map, are there any other buses that are like this in Manhattan? Only half of the M15 buses go all the way down to South Ferry, and for the selects the last time point shown is Houston. Do the downtown selects terminate at Houston, or go further down than that? There's also an M96 bus stop on 1st Avenue/99th Street in front of that school. Are there buses that run to/from that school? If so, does anyone know the routing?
Quill Depot Posted January 23, 2013 #2 Posted January 23, 2013 Some buses on the M14 start at Union Sq from what I recall. I may be wrong.
GojiMet86 Posted January 23, 2013 #3 Posted January 23, 2013 The M4 has several short-turns. Some end at 135th and Broadway from either Penn Station or the Cloisters. The M10 has runs that start Frederick Douglass Blvd and 116th Street.

The M96 routing is 1 Avenue, right on 97 and resume route, for the tripper
Gorgor Posted January 23, 2013 Author #5 Posted January 23, 2013 Thanks guys The M96 routing is 1 Avenue, right on 97 and resume route, for the tripper The bus stop is on 1st and 99th.
BM5 via Woodhaven Posted January 23, 2013 #6 Posted January 23, 2013 thats what the MTA Timetable says @ Gorgor I think it takes 101 street, 2 Avenue to 96 street and Resume regular route
Lennyj17 Posted January 23, 2013 #7 Posted January 23, 2013 The M101/102 have short turns at 96 (these are mostly Revenue Deadheading Trips back to OHS) and 42nd Street...I think the M103 may have the same shortturns. M7's are turned at 23rd a lot, because they bunch like hell. Aren't there some M5's that short turn at Houston?
Guest MTA Bus Posted January 23, 2013 #8 Posted January 23, 2013 Selected M42s terminate at Grand Central during rush hours.
Gorgor Posted January 23, 2013 Author #9 Posted January 23, 2013 thats what the MTA Timetable says @ Gorgor Well 1st Avenue goes uptown; you can't drive down from 99th to 97th.
BM5 via Woodhaven Posted January 23, 2013 #10 Posted January 23, 2013 Also M1-M5 buses use 26 street and Madison Avenue as a short turn terminal Basically 5th to Broadway, then 23 street to Madison, and terminate on 26th street
MHV9218 Posted January 23, 2013 #11 Posted January 23, 2013 I mean, we have many threads on this, but there are plenty. M1-M3 short turn is generally 26th downtown, M4 is 135th uptown, M5 is 9th St downtown, 135th uptown, M7 often at 23rd, etc. etc.
checkmatechamp13 Posted January 23, 2013 #12 Posted January 23, 2013 Only half of the M15 buses go all the way down to South Ferry, and for the selects the last time point shown is Houston. Do the downtown selects terminate at Houston, or go further down than that? Well, I know Pike/Division Streets used to be a terminal. I don't think it is now, though. The M4 has several short-turns. Some end at 135th and Broadway from either Penn Station or the Cloisters. The M10 has runs that start Frederick Douglass Blvd and 116th Street. The M5 also has a few short-turns at 135th (coming from both directions) The M101/102 have short turns at 96 (these are mostly Revenue Deadheading Trips back to OHS) and 42nd Street...I think the M103 may have the same shortturns. Aren't there some M5's that short turn at Houston? Another short-turn terminal for the M101/102 is 23rd Street, when buses are delayed. And I don't think the M5 has any official short-turns at Houston. The M3 has a few runs that terminate at St. Nick & 125th.
GojiMet86 Posted January 23, 2013 #13 Posted January 23, 2013 Yep, the M15 still has the Pike Street terminal. What I wasn't aware until about two weeks ago was that the MTA had two schedules for the M15 (SBS and Local). http://www.mta.info/nyct/bus/schedule/manh/m015cur.pdf
Guest Charles Posted January 23, 2013 #14 Posted January 23, 2013 I've seen morning runs on the 31 which terminate over by 8 Av/57 St.
FamousNYLover Posted January 23, 2013 #16 Posted January 23, 2013 It also depends on bus drivers. I have been on 26th St-bound M1, M2, M3 that made drop off at 27th St, made left at 26th St, turn left at Madison Av. M103 does have short turn mostly on uptown direction.
B35 via Church Posted January 23, 2013 #17 Posted January 23, 2013 You also have the M11's that end over at 135th/broadway....
DanTheTransitMan Posted January 23, 2013 #18 Posted January 23, 2013 Here's a few that I know off the too of my head: Some Broadway 106th street bound M60's start at 125th and 2nd. Some M15 terminate at 14th street. Some M66's terminate at 67th street and Amsterdam ave. Some M34's terminate at 8th ave. Some M15's terminate at 96th street Some M96's terminate at Lexington ave. The M101/102/M103 use 24th and 3rd as a terminal a lot During the rush hours some M1's terminate at 59th street. Some M79 terminate at Broadway and 79th Some M4's terminate at broadway and 110th Some M102's terminate at 125th street and 3rd Some m7's terminate at 34th street near penn station This list could go on and on because bus in general really don't always stay on their fixed service pattern.
Gorgor Posted January 23, 2013 Author #19 Posted January 23, 2013 Thanks a lot! Does anyone know of any part time terminals or stops that that take a different route than shown on the map? Ex: The M86 stop at East End Avenue.
Lennyj17 Posted January 23, 2013 #20 Posted January 23, 2013 I know the Q101 used to go to 3 AV but was never part of the route map, I don't know if that still happens or now.
GojiMet86 Posted January 23, 2013 #21 Posted January 23, 2013 I know the Q101 used to go to 3 AV but was never part of the route map, I don't know if that still happens or now. I did not know that. There's none on the schedule.
WorkerX Posted January 24, 2013 #22 Posted January 24, 2013 Some M102's terminate at 125th street and 3rd I assume you mean 125th and Lenox, which some M7s do as well. M2's still use 145th & 7th Ave M101's still use 161st & Amsterdam Ave
Gorgor Posted January 24, 2013 Author #23 Posted January 24, 2013 Are there any scheduled short turns, rather than the dispatcher or whoever terminating certain buses due to bunching? And is the M86 stop at East End Avenue the only bus stop that is not shown on the map? (Excluding school trippers in the outerboroughs)
