All of the "BM" buses are MTA Bus Company right? Does "BM" mean Bronx/Manhattan?

BM routes are operated by MTA Bus, BM stands for Brooklyn-Manhattan. BxM would stand for Bronx-Manhattan.

Are the BMs now part of the Command Bus routes?

All the BM routes were run by Command until the MTA takeover in late 2005.

SC use to have BQM1,but they change it to the BM5

Wow thats an interesting move. It might be because of mileage but I don't know. It would be cool to see MTA Bus taking another order of MCI's but I am not sure if they will do that at this time. I heard SC already has the rest of the ex NYBS cruisers so I guess we will have to wait.
