Jacob Riis Park service
During the summer season, from late May to early September, Q22 and Q35 buses are rerouted to directly serve Jacob Riis Park directly. Far Rockaway-bound Q22 buses use a stop on Rockaway Beach Boulevard in front of the Riis Park historic bathhouse, via a normally-closed access road which branches off from Beach Channel Drive near the end of the Marine Park Bridge at the west end of the park. Q35 buses serve this stop in both directions. Westbound buses do not serve the park directly, rather stopping on Rockaway Beach Boulevard west of Beach 149th Street in front of Neponsit Beach Hospital. During non-summer months this is the closest stop to the park.

Early history
Originally owned by Long Island Coach Company, service began in 1912. The route later came under the operations of Green Bus Lines.

MTA takeover
On January 9, 2006, the MTA Bus Company took over the operations of the Green Bus Line routes as part of the city's takeover of all the remaining privately operated bus routes.

On October 10, 2017 at the monthly meeting of Queens Community Board 14, the MTA suggested rerouting the Q35 south from Newport Avenue onto Rockaway Beach Boulevard. The reroute would coincide with changes to the Q22 route, in which most Q22 trips would only travel between Beach 116th Street and Far Rockaway. The rerouted Q35 would partially replace Q22 service west of Beach 116th Street. The change to the Q35 route along with many of the service alterations proposed by the MTA recieved negative feedback from local residents. The reroute of the Q35 and Q22 was protested due to potential traffic issues on Beach 116th Street, with the two routes along with the Q53 all using the street.

On May 23, 2018, the MTA held an open house at the Rockaway YMCA in Arverne to discuss the changes to Q22 and Q35 service proposed in October 2017, including the potential route adjustment for the Q35 from Newport Avenue to Rockaway Beach Boulevard. Following the open house, however, the plans to alter the Q35 route were cancelled.

In March 2022, the MTA released a revised draft plan was released of the Queens bus network. As part of the redesign, the Q22 would be a local route and would be truncated on its western end to Rockaway Park-Beach 116th Street station and extended on its eastern end to Five Towns Shopping Center to provide service on some segments of the Q113/114 that would be discontinued. Closely spaced stops would also be eliminated.

Streetcar route
The line began as a single track at the Harlem River on the eastern shore of Manhattan, expanding to two tracks before First Avenue. It ran west across 125th Street, ending at a loop a 12th Avenue on the west side of the island, where passengers accessed the Fort Lee Ferry running across the Hudson River to Fort Lee, New Jersey.

M100
The is the successor to the Kingsbridge Line (or Broadway−Kingsbridge Line) streetcar. It begins at St. Nicholas Avenue and 125th Street, running west down 125th to Amsterdam Avenue. It then turns north onto Amsterdam Avenue, Broadway and Tenth Avenue towards 220th Street and Broadway in Inwood.

M101
The M101 is a successor of the Third Avenue Railway. It begins at West 193rd Street and Amsterdam Avenue in Fort George, running south via Amsterdam Avenue, before turning west on 125th Street, and then the route goes via Lexington Avenue southbound, and return trips run northbound via Third Avenue.

Bx15/M125
The follows the former route of the IRT Third Avenue Line from Fordham Plaza to The Hub/Third Avenue-149th Street station. The M125 is the only current service to terminate at the former Fort Lee Ferry at 12th Avenue. It runs east along 125th Street and at the east end of 125th Street, it travels north towards the Bronx (Willis Avenue Bridge north bound; Third Avenue Bridge southbound), then along Willis Avenue to The Hub. The M125 is the former southern portion of the Bx15.

Other routes
The route, successor to the Broadway Line streetcar service, uses a small portion of 125th Street at its northern end between Amsterdam Avenue and Morningside Avenue. The route terminates at Lexington Avenue and 125th Street before running east towards Randalls and Wards Islands. It technically does not run along 125th Street proper, running parallel on 126th Street westbound, 124th Street eastbound, and the approaches to the Triborough Bridge. The, which shares the Third and Lexington Avenues corridor with the M101, uses 125th Street at its northern end to turn and terminate.

History
In February 1904 and again on December 23, 1905, the Union Railway Company would apply for extensions of their Bronx-based streetcar lines into Manhattan, including the Willis Avenue Line. The proposed Willis Line extension would used the recently-constructed Willis Avenue Bridge, which opened in 1901. A decade later on July 2, 1914, the company received a permit to extend Willis Avenue service across the bridge, then west along the 125th Street Crosstown Line to Fort Lee Ferry. The service was requested to eliminated the required transfer to other streetcar lines. The new service was inaugurated on April 1, 1916, providing a link between the Bronx and New Jersey. The occasion was celebrated with a 7-day carnival in Harlem.

In April 2014, M60 Select Bus Service along the 125th Street corridor was inaugurated. Along the corridor, dedicated bus lanes were added, stops were consolidated, and passengers using the M60 began to use off-board payment. These improvements were intended to speed up service on the M60, which was one of the slowest bus routes in the city. The other routes on the corridor, the Bx15, M100, and M101 also use the dedicated bus lanes to speed up their travels. On June 26, 2022, the MTA launched the Bronx Bus Network redesign, which replaced Bx15 and M100 service with the M125. As a result of this, the M100 was truncated to St. Nicholas Avenue and the Bx15 was truncated to The Hub, with the M125 taking over the Bx15's route south of this point. [[

Streetcar line
The Bronx and Van Cortlandt Park Line began at Boston Road and 177th Street, at the West Farms Square – East Tremont Avenue subway station and near the southern end of the Bronx Zoo in Bronx Park. It ran north on Boston Road, then west on 180th Street, north on Southern Boulevard, and west on Fordham Road, Kingsbridge Road, and 225th Street. It then turned north onto Broadway, underneath the IRT Broadway Elevated, and ran to the end of the El at 242nd Street and along the western edge of Van Cortlandt Park to the city line at 262nd Street. The line was known as the "monkey line" as it served the Bronx Zoo. On streetcars, the route appeared as "C" or the #25.

Current bus service
The current Bx9 route follows the trolley line between West Farms and Riverdale. The route along Southern Boulevard is shared with the, while the route along Fordham Road is shared with the and. East 177th Street is now Tremont Avenue in West Farms Square. Travel into Westchester County requires transfer to the routes of the Bee-Line Bus System at the Van Cortlandt Park–242nd Street station.

During weekdays, particularly during rush hours, short run Bx9 service terminates at Fordham Plaza, the 225th Street station in Marble Hill, or the 242nd Street station near the south end of Van Cortlandt Park.

History

Streetcar line
The 149th Street Crosstown Line, operated by the Union Railway, ran from the intersection of East 149th Street and Southern Boulevard, before running west along 149th Street, the 145th Street Bridge, and 145th Street to Broadway. It was one of the two major routes that operate both on trolley wire trackage (in the Bronx) and with a third rail (in Manhattan). The line was given the letter X.

Current bus service
The Bx19 starts at the New York Botanical Garden and the Bronx Zoo at Southern Boulevard. The route then continues south via Southern Boulevard running through Fordham, East Tremont and Morrisania before running underneath the IRT White Plains Road Line, with transfers available to the 2 and 5 trains at multiple locations. At Westchester Avenue, the White Plains Road Line diverges, and transfers are available to the subway once again after East 163rd Street, but this time to the IRT Pelham Line, where 6 trains can be transferred to. The bus route passes through Hunts Point and the Hub running along East 149th Street. After connections can be made at Grand Concourse to the subway, buses then cross the Harlem River into Manhattan over the 145th Street Bridge. Once on the other side, the route then goes via 145th Street, with transfers available to the subway at Lenox Avenue, Saint Nicholas Avenue and Broadway, before terminating at Riverbank State Park.

History
The Bx30 bus replaced the 149th Street Crosstown Line streetcars on August 17, 1947, and the Bx31 replaced Southern Boulevard Line streetcars on August 21, 1948.

In 1966, the Bx30's turnaround operation at its eastern terminus was revised in order to avoid heavy truck traffic in the previous turnaround area at Austin Place.
