 * opening paragraph**

On October 29, 2023, Suffolk Transit introduced the Reimagine Transit Initiative, a full redesign of the bus network. As part of this redesign, there will be daily service system-wide with local buses running weekdays until 10 p.m. and to 8 or 9 p.m. on weekends.


 * edit summary**

Replace main SCT bus table which has no sources referenced and split route history into own table, like in *numerous other similar* articles. Sorry the history is only partially done. Note that the “former routes” table needs a big clean up.

Routes 1 to 92, 10B, 10C, and Suffolk Clipper
Most routes west of Port Jefferson and Patchogue are scheduled with 30 minute headways (60 minutes on routes 3, 10 and 15) during weekdays until at least 6:00 p.m. On all routes from Port Jefferson and Patchogue to the east, including the three north-south routes between those two terminals, there are 60 minute headways (except for 30 minutes on Route 66). All weekday late evening and weekend service runs on 60 minute headways. Route numbers (not including 110) are lower in the western portion of the county (1 through 17) and higher in the eastern (51 through 92). Odd-numbered routes are generally oriented north to south, with even numbers west to east. Timed connections can be made at Amityville LIRR station, Bay Shore, Brentwood LIRR station, Central Islip LIRR station, Patchogue LIRR station, Riverhead LIRR station and the Smith Haven Mall.

Routes 10B and 10C are temporary hold overs from the previous system due to a manufacturer vehicle recall. These routes will be replaced at a near-future time by the East Hampton - Montauk On-Demand Zone.

History of current routes
These current routes are replacements and reconfigurations of the previous routes that were prefixed with an “S” label. This label denoted Suffolk County, akin to route labeling in other transit systems around the region. See further down in this article for information about the previous S- routes’ histories. The routes listed in this table replaced all the previous routes on October 29, 2023.
