Speed and reliability
October 2025 – September 2026. Speed includes time at stops and lights. "Spacing" is the MTA's wait assessment: the gap between buses stays within a few minutes of schedule.
It averages 9.4 mph on weekdays, #63 fastest of 262 local and Select Bus routes, up from 9.1 mph the year before. 70.9% of its trips kept to their scheduled spacing (the MTA's "wait assessment"; local routes overall: 72.1%), and 92.2% of scheduled buses actually ran.
