The traditional payment works differently as riders need to pay for the SBS fare before they board. Select bus service is often blue and gold. Limited buses have “LTD” signs on above the front windshield. Limited buses are similar to local buses, but they make fewer stops.

The new bus schedule, which was highlighted in a story in The Riverdale Press on June 30, affects only local and some limited stops. Those stops will remain intact, according to MTA officials. The Bronx bus route redesign that went into effect June 26 does not include express buses.
