Questions about 8 Av/55 St

MTA bus stop · B70

Which buses stop at 8 Av/55 St?

This stop is served by one route: B70. Open a route to see all of its stops.

When is the next bus at 8 Av/55 St?

The next scheduled departure is in about 70 minutes. No vehicle is being tracked yet, so this comes from the timetable, not from a live bus.

What does "4 stops away" mean?

It is the number of stops the bus still has to make before it reaches this one, straight from MTA Bus Time. It is a better guide than minutes in traffic: a bus two stops away will be here shortly even if the estimate says five minutes.

Are these times live or from the timetable?

Live whenever a bus is being tracked on the route; those rows show how many stops away the vehicle is. When nothing is being tracked the scheduled timetable is shown instead and clearly labelled as scheduled.

Where exactly is the 8 Av/55 St bus stop?

It stands on 8 Av where it meets 55 St in Brooklyn. The map further down the page shows the exact corner, which matters here because the opposite side of the street is usually a separate stop with its own arrival times.

Where is this stop on the B70 route?

It is stop 39 of 65 on the B70, after 8 Av/57 St and before 8 Av/52 St. Both directions of the route are listed together, so a corner usually appears twice, once for each way.
