Every corner of The Bronx is accessible by bus, and it’s the best way to travel east-west across the borough. The Bronx has three Select Bus Service (SBS) routes, the Bx12 SBS serving Fordham Road and Pelham Parkway, the Bx41 SBS, serving Webster Avenue, and the Bx6, servicing the south Bronx crosstown. All SBS buses require payment before boarding; keep the receipt from the ticket vending machine as proof-of-payment for the duration of your trip.
