NYC buses — faster than subway for crosstown travel

Key East-West Routes:

M14A/D SBS (14th Street): Crosstown Select Bus Service from 9th Avenue to FDR Drive, connects L/1/2/3/4/5/6/N/Q/R/W trains. Faster than subway detours.

M23 SBS (23rd Street): Crosstown from Jacob K. Javits Center through Chelsea and Gramercy to FDR Drive.

M42 (42nd Street): Full crosstown from Jacob K. Javits Center through Times Square to the FDR Drive/UN area.

Payment & Speed: Same OMNY system as subway, $2.90 per ride. Dedicated bus lanes during peak hours make crosstown trips faster than traffic or subway transfers.
