About Bx41 Select Bus Service, and how it changes and improves your ride

Select Bus Service is the brand name for Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) in New York City.  BRT is a general term for any high-performance surface transportation system that incorporates features of rail transit combined with the flexibility and cost advantages of bus transit. 

Select Bus Service on the Bx41 introduces innovative changes to the way buses operate:

• You pay BEFORE boarding
• You can board the bus using any door
• Dedicated bus lanes speed service between 165th Street and Gun Hill Road
• Only one northbound stop at both The Hub and Fordham Road speeds your ride
• New off-street stop at Gun Hill Intermodal Terminal allows for an easier connection from the subway.

All these elements will make your trip up to 15% to 20% faster.

Bus stop signs and shelters clearly mark Select Bus Service stops.

 

Two ways to Pay your Fare Before you Board

You pay your fare at the stop at either the MetroCard Fare Collector or Coin Fare Collector machine BEFORE boarding.

Keep your receipt for the duration of your trip.  Fare inspectors randomly check for them.  Anyone who cannot produce a valid receipt could be subject to a substantial fine.

You don’t give or show your receipt to the bus operator UNLESS you paid with coins and need a transfer. Please board at the front of the bus if you need a transfer.

MetroCard Fare Collector

Pay here with:
MetroCard (Value or Time), Reduced-Fare MetroCard, transfers, single-ride tickets, and Student MetroCard (but NOT Half-Fare Student MetroCard).
1. Press the start button.
2. Insert your MetroCard, transfer or ticket face up into the slot.
3. Your receipt will be issued automatically.

Transfers: MetroCard transfers remain the same. Your transfer is encoded on your card. Only a value-based MetroCard can be used to pay the fare for more than one person. Insert the MetroCard into the machine up to four times for a maximum of four people, and payment receipts will be issued for each person. If your group transfers to the Bx12 SBS, you must obtain new receipts before you board. At the Bx12 SBS bus stop, insert the same MetroCard you used to pay to board at the Bx41 SBS, and multiple receipts will be issued.
