Bus route history

Except for the S61, all current Staten Island bus routes originally had different designations before they were renumbered by service patterns, as follows:

• S4x: North Shore services
• S5x: North-south cross-island services
• S6x: Victory Boulevard services
• S7x: South Shore services
• S8x & S9x: Limited-stop versions of their respective local routes ending in the same number. (Ex: S62/S92, S48/S98). The S81, S84, and S86 are limited-stop versions of the S51, S74, and S76 respectively, while the S91, S94, and S96 are limited-stop versions of the S61, S44, and S46 respectively.

Old and new routes are given below, along with discontinued service patterns. In addition, prior to the late 1980s, routes were designated with R (for Richmond County) instead of S. The R designation is shown in the "Old Route" section.

A.M. rush hour service was supplemented by service from Andros Ave & Richmond Terrace to the ferry and Park Avenue & Richmond Terrace to the ferry.
