MTA Bus Time

Service Alert for Route:

• Buses may experience delays because it's a Gridlock Alert Day
  Bus service in Midtown may be delayed because of heavy traffic. Your bus may also make an unplanned detour to keep you moving.
  
  You should expect additional travel time and consider using the subway or walking if possible.
  See all the Gridlock Alert dates on the NYC DOT website.
• SIM4X/SIM8X trips will be discontinued, more trips coming to SIM4/SIM8
  Things to know:
  SIM4X and SIM8X are special express trips of the SIM4 and SIM8 routes.
  Regular SIM4 and SIM8 trips will not be reduced.
  Some of the express SIM4X and SIM8X trips will be converted to full route SIM4 and SIM8 trips.
  These changes are part of our regular process of reviewing bus schedules and ridership demand. Discontinuing the SIM4X and SIM8X and converting some of these trips into full-route SIM4 and SIM8 trips will better use underutilized resources.
