Are you sure about the B82 (or #10)? I just checked on Google Maps and the B103 Limited seems longer.

[nycbusfan 2]

I'm pretty sure the B82 is the longest, I think B103 is second.

[Ghostface Brown 0]

Alright, it's just that I remember reading somewhere that the B103 Limited is the longest at about 12 and a half miles.
