Questions about 8 Av/55 St

MTA bus stop · B70

Which buses stop at 8 Av/55 St?

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

The next bus is about 4 minutes away. Every row above shows the destination and how many stops the bus still has to go.

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?

Where is this stop on the B70 route?

It is stop 38 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.
