Bus depots of MTA Regional Bus Operations
History
On June 1, 1940, the New York City Board of Transportation (BOT) took over the streetcar operations of the Brooklyn–Manhattan Transit Corporation (BMT), as part of the unification of the city's transit system under municipal operations. The streetcar lines would be motorized into diesel bus routes or trolleybus routes over the next two decades.[5][6][7][8][9][10] In 1947, the BOT took over the North Shore Bus Company in Queens and Isle Transportation in Staten Island, giving the city control of the majority of surface transit in Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island.[6][8][11][12][13] On September 24, 1948, the BOT took over the East Side Omnibus Corporation and Comprehensive Omnibus Corporation in Manhattan, receiving two depots in East Harlem.[8][11][14] From 1947 to 1950, the BOT reconstructed numerous depots and trolley barns inherited from the private operators, and erected or purchased new facilities to expand capacity.[5][6][15][16][17] In 1962, the New York City Transit Authority (successor to the BOT) and its subsidiary Manhattan and Bronx Surface Transit Operating Authority (MaBSTOA) took over the operations of the Fifth Avenue Coach Company in Manhattan and the Bronx. The Transit Authority inherited at least 12 bus depots from the company, some of which were kept in operation while others were condemned and closed.[5][11][12][18][19][20][21][22][23] From 2005 to 2006, the remaining private operators were taken over by the MTA Bus Company. The MTA inherited eight facilities at this time, which had been built either by the companies or the New York City Department of Transportation (NYCDOT).[4][24][25][26][27]
Central Maintenance Depots
The MTA has two major "central maintenance facilities" (CMFs) that serve the New York City area. The Grand Avenue Central Maintenance Facility is adjacent to the Grand Avenue Depot in Maspeth, Queens, and the Zerega Avenue Central Maintenance Facility is located at 750 Zerega Avenue in the Bronx.[28] Both maintenance facilities are responsible for the major reconstruction of buses in need of repair including engine rebuilding, transmission shops, and shops for body components on New York City Transit Authority's bus fleet, as well as repainting of buses. The facilities also include several employee workshops for surface transportation training and institutional instruction. In addition, Zerega Avenue CMF is responsible for registry of new buses in the fleet.[29] The two facilities were conceived as part of the 1995-1999 and 2000-2004 MTA Capital Programs.[30] The Zerega Avenue facility was opened in 2001,[31][32][33] while the Grand Avenue facility was opened in 2007 along with the bus depot.[31] Previously, the large repair shops of the East New York Depot served as the system's sole central maintenance shops;[6][29][34][30][35] as of May 2016, East New York is considered a third central maintenance facility.[36][37]
Zerega Avenue Facility
The Zerega Avenue Maintenance and Training Facility is a one-story structure located on the east side of Zerega Avenue between Lafayette and Seward Avenues in the Castle Hill section of the Bronx (40°49′22″N 73°50′30″W / 40.822916°N 73.841587°W), sitting along the western coast of Westchester Creek.[32][33] Plans for the facility were conceived around 1999,[33] and it was constructed in 2000.[32][33] The facility received an award from the American Society of Civil Engineers for design-build project of the year in 2002.[38] Around 2002, the Zerega shops began overhauling NYCT buses to operate on ultra-low-sulfur diesel.[39] The facility includes paint booths for MTA buses, and was designed to maintain compressed natural gas (CNG) equipment.[35][32][33] It also features numerous classrooms and a driving simulator to train MTA bus operators.[32][33][40]
Bronx Division
The Manhattan and Bronx Surface Transit Operating Authority (MaBSTOA), a subsidiary of the New York City Transit brand, operates all the local routes in the Bronx aside from the Bx23 and Q50. The latter two routes and all express bus routes in the borough are operated by the MTA Bus Company. All depots in the division, including those under the MTA Bus Company, are represented by TWU Local 100. Although named the Bronx Division, only three are actually located in The Bronx, with the others in Inwood, Manhattan and the suburb of Yonkers.
Eastchester Depot
The Eastchester Depot is located on Tillotson Avenue near Conner Street (40°53′03″N 73°49′18″W / 40.884228°N 73.821717°W) off the
This depot contains a major bus overhaul and repair facility/shop for various type of buses,[4][44][45] a major "reserve storage" facility for out-of-service buses,[36] and a storage facility for decommissioned and wrecked buses awaiting scrapping.[42] The latter set of buses are stripped of usable parts such as windows and engine components, as well as reusable fluids such as motor oil and fuel, before the remaining shells and unsalvageable parts are sold for scrap.[42][46][47][48][49] The scrapping program began in summer 2008.[48] Under the MTA, the shop was upgraded with a new concrete floor.[4] The facility underwent further renovations in the 2010s, replacing the maintenance building's roof and improving ventilation and pollution controls including containment of fuel spills. The upgraded facility opened on August 13, 2015.[44][45][50]

Kingsbridge Depot
The Kingsbridge Depot is located in at 4055-4060 Ninth Avenue in Inwood, Manhattan (40°52′13″N 73°54′45″W / 40.870190°N 73.912521°W) and stretches nearly two square blocks, from Tenth Avenue to the Harlem River and from 216th Street to 218th Street. The current facility opened on February 23, 1993,[5] and consists of two separate buildings: one for maintenance (the Ninth Avenue Shop)[28][29][31] and one for bus storage. The Ninth Avenue shop rebuilds individual bus components.[29] It was the first in the city to house articulated buses beginning on September 30, 1996.[69] The roof of the depot is a public parking facility.
The site of the depot was originally the Kingsbridge Car Barn, a streetcar barn owned by the Third Avenue Railway in 1897.[5][62] This was a one-story brick structure with a basement and steel frame designed in Roman renaissance style with terracotta features. Among its designers included Isaac A. Hopper, who constructed Carnegie Hall.[62] Across from the barn on the east side of Ninth Avenue was the Kingsbridge Power House, which was constructed around the same time and supplied electricity to the Third Avenue system. It was designed and built by Westinghouse Electric Corporation and by Hopper, with similar brick and terracotta features.[70][71][72][73][74][75]
The facility became the location of the company's central repair shop in 1947 when the 65th Street Shops closed.[76] In 1948, Third Avenue's central repair shop was moved again to a facility in Yonkers,[76] while the Kingsbridge Depot ceased serving trolleys and began serving buses in 1948.[5][62] In 1962, it was acquired by the MaBSTOA.[5] The original 1897 depot closed on September 10, 1989, when the Gun Hill Depot opened, and was razed soon after. It had fallen into disrepair and the placement of its support columns was inconvenient for bus movements in the building.[62]

Original the site was an amusement park called Starlight Park, which hosted the Bronx International Exposition of Science, Arts and Industries in 1918.[78] In 1928, the park operators received the auditorium from the 1926 Sesquicentennial Exposition in Philadelphia, which became the New York Coliseum.[78][80] The coliseum and park went into receivership in 1940, and the coliseum was used as a vehicle maintenance center for the United States Army during World War II.[78][80] It was acquired by the Third Avenue Railway in April 1946, and was converted into a bus depot and repair shop for the successor Surface Transportation Corporation around 1950.[80][81][82] The company also operated a second facility nearby, at what is now West Farms Road and the Cross Bronx Expressway.[83] Surface Transit was taken over by New York City Omnibus Corporation in 1956, and the depot became municipally operated when its parent company Fifth Avenue Coach folded in 1962.[12] The Coliseum Depot closed in 1995[68] and was demolished in 1997,[84] while a new CNG-compatible facility was constructed as part of the MTA's 1995-1999 Capital Program. This included a "fast-fill" CNG filling station at the cost of $7.3 million.[79] It became the second NYCT depot to facilitate CNG when it opened in 2003.[68]

East New York Depot
The East New York Depot, also called the East New York Base Shops,
The original building on the site was a trolley car barn for the Broadway Railroad's Broadway streetcar line, opened in 1859.[94] The barn began serving buses in 1931, and was acquired by the city during unification in 1940.[5][95] Construction on the current bus depot began in 1947.[6] The depot was built on top of the subway tunnel roof of the IND Fulton Street Line, which had been built in the early 1940s.[6][96] The depot opened on December 17, 1950.[5][93] The trolley barn was replaced by the current depot on October 30, 1956, when Brooklyn streetcar service ended.[5][9][11][94][97][98]
Also located at the facility is the MTA's bus command center, also known as the East New York Administration Building. The brick structure built along with the current depot is located at the west end of the bus depot, facing Fulton Street at the foot of Alabama Avenue.[6][99][100] The center was expanded in 1962, and again in 1969.[5] The MTA plans to construct a new command center across from the depot, to the east of the current complex. The contract for the project was awarded on June 26, 2015.[101]

The four-story building includes four fueling and defueling stations, cleaning and storage facilities for 200 buses on the first floor, an advanced 27 bus central maintenance facility on the second floor, administrative offices for NYCT's Department of Buses on the third floor, and parking garages for MTA employees on the roof. The central maintenance facility is able to repair and maintain the newer fleet of diesel, diesel hybrid-electric, 60-foot (18 m) articulated, express coach and compressed natural gas (CNG) buses, and has expanded the capabilities of the current East New York central maintenance facility for Brooklyn and Queens. The facility also has four environmentally friendly paint booths − self-contained units that avoid the spread of contaminants.[124][123][125][126]
The building meets the needs of expanding demands, and relief of the overcrowding at the Brooklyn Division's other six existing bus garages, and upgrading the Department of Buses' facilities to be state-of-the-art from both environmental and technological standpoints.[127] Also, work to modify this depot to accommodate articulated-buses has been completed, with the B38 converted to articulated buses as of September 1, 2019, and for electrically powered buses is currently underway for future use.[3]

The depot was supposed to be completed by spring 1996, but was delayed to October 1997 because the general contractor for the project quit the job. As of June 1996, the project was 60% completed. In August 1996, the electrical contractor stopped work on the project due to a contract dispute with the NYCDOT.[193] The depot opened on October 31, 1997, a year ahead of a previous estimate.[194] The depot increased the number of its wash bays from 1 to 3, and doubled the company's repair bays to 24.[195] It was built with space for 275 buses and 400 cars. This was the first CNG fueling station to be built by and owned by the city. It is owned by the New York City Department of Transportation and leased to MTA Bus.[3][27][190] It had been leased to Queens Surface Corporation before the lease was taken over by MTA Bus.[190] Many buses under Queens Surface used compressed natural gas,[41] and all local bus service from this depot operates using CNG provided by Trillium CNG.[1][36][192] In 2006, a unified command center for MTA Bus Company was established at the depot.[184] Also, plans are underway to modify this depot to accommodate articulated-buses in the very near future.

The depot, as well as JFK Depot, are owned by GTJ Reit, Inc.,[24][26] except for the newly built annex building which is owned by the MTA-NYCTA, and had been used by Green Bus Lines Inc. before being leased to the City of New York and MTA Bus in 2006 for a period of 21 years. The depot has two storage lots and a small maintenance facility. Following damage from Hurricane Sandy, the facility was closed between October 2012 and February 2013, with its fleet housed at Building 78 on the grounds of John F. Kennedy International Airport two blocks away from the JFK Depot.[198] In 2014, the MTA opened a new annex building with a modern and updated maintenance facility, to expand this facility in order to maintain and support more buses.[36] The project to fully restore the depot was scheduled to begin in 2015,[50] but has yet to begin as of 2016.[36] It has also been proposed to partially power the facility using wind turbines.[47]

Castleton Depot, also called Castleton Avenue Depot,[6][231] is located on 1390 Castleton Avenue and fills the block bounded by Jewett Avenue, Hurst Street, Castleton Avenue, and Rector Street in Port Richmond (40°38′00″N 74°07′44″W / 40.633464°N 74.128929°W).[6][231] A large parking lot on the east side of Rector Street is also used for bus storage. The depot was constructed in the late 1940s to provide urgently needed storage space for city-owned buses on Staten Island.[5][6] When Isle Transportation went bankrupt in 1947, the city's Board of Transportation (predecessor of NYC Transit) took control of the majority of Staten Island bus operations.[5][6][13] It was built to hold 135 buses,[232] and can now store about 340 buses.[233]
Following the closure of the Brook Street Depot, Isle Transportation's original facility, in 1958,[234] Castleton Depot was the only city-owned depot on Staten Island and was known as Staten Island Depot. The next permanent depot to open in the borough was Yukon Depot, opened in 1981.[5]

The site was selected in 2000.[235] The depot was announced in September 2005 as part of the MTA's 2000-2004 Capital Plan, to relieve the overcrowding and maintenance and storage pressure's between the Castleton and Yukon bus depots, both of which had limited bus storage space. The depot was also intended to help expand express bus service in Staten Island, and improve service for then-36,000 Staten Islanders who used express buses.[233] A new depot had been planned for around 30 years, and attempts to secure funding lasted around a decade.[232][236][237] After delays due to lack of funding,[238] construction on the depot (then called the Charleston Bus Annex)[232][236] began on February 15, 2008.[236] The depot was opened on December 6, 2010.[28][239]

The Meredith Avenue Depot or Meredith Depot is located at 280 and 336 Meredith Avenue, at the intersection of Meredith Avenue and South Avenue (formerly Chelsea Road) near the shoreline of Arthur Kill and Prall's Island in Chelsea (40°36′02″N 74°11′46″W / 40.600570°N 74.196001°W).[28][240] This depot was constructed in 2009 to expand storage capacity in the borough, with the MTA operating the site on a 15-year lease.[161][240][241] The depot was built on largely vacant land, with the exception of an 1890s-era house.[240] It has space for 80 buses, and light maintenance facilities.[161][240][241] It operates only from Monday to Friday, and houses exclusively express buses,[240] which are rotated from the other Staten Island depots. Meredith Avenue depot was closed due to damage from Hurricane Sandy, but has since reopened.

Former depots
Below are the depots formerly used by the MTA and its predecessors for municipal bus operations, excluding facilities inherited by the city but not used for city-operated buses. Many of the depots were demolished or abandoned following their closure. Some have been converted for other uses by the MTA or other organizations. One depot, the 54th Street Depot, was demolished to make room for a new MTA facility outside of bus operations.[243]
West 5th Street Depot
The West 5th Street Depot
On October 30, 1956, the last streetcars operated to the depot along McDonald Avenue,[5][9][11][97][98] at which point it was likely converted for bus service. The bus depot was closed on July 27, 1960, replaced by the Fresh Pond Depot in Queens.[112][118][120][121][257] The depot was closed due to traffic congestion in Coney Island.[257] By 1962, the site of the depot and former terminal was cleared.[258][259] It is now the site of the Brightwater Towers apartment complex,[247] built in the 1960s shortly after the depot was demolished.[121][260][261]
12th Street Depot
The 12th Street Depot was located at East 12th Street between 1st Avenue & Avenue A in Lower Manhattan. It used to be a taxi garage.[5] It was acquired from the Fifth Avenue Coach Company in 1962.[5][18][19] As a bus depot, the facility could only house 50-60 buses, which were assigned to Lower Manhattan routes such as the M12 (discontinued in 1979), M13, and M14A/M14D. The remaining buses on the routes came from depots in Midtown and Upper Manhattan, or were stored on the street.[5][262][263] The depot was closed and replaced by the Hudson Pier Depot in 1971.[5][262][263]
37th Street Depot
The 37th Street Depot or 39th Street Depot was located west of Second Avenue between 37th and 39th Streets along the Gowanus Bay portion of the
The depot was near the former 39th Street Ferry Terminal, served by
54th Street Depot
The 54th Street Depot was located on
The contract for the command center was awarded in November 1997, with the intent of creating a central control room for the New York City Subway that would implement automation of the system, including automatic train protection.[277] The use of non-union labor by the construction contractor led to a protest by thousands of union members at the site and at the MTA's midtown headquarters in June 1998.[278][279] Adjacent to the control center is an NYCT parking lot on the east side of Ninth Avenue.[243][280] The parking lot is planned to be redeveloped into affordable housing as part of the "Western Rail Yard" project, which would redevelop this site and the West Side Yard on West 33rd Street.[243][280]
126th Street Depot
The 126th Street Depot fills the city block bounded by
Several structures have occupied the site since the beginning of European settlement of the area.
Two outdoor annexes are located near the depot, one across of Second Avenue, and one two blocks north on East 128th Street, adjacent to Harlem River Park. The lot on 126th Street is used for bus storage and employee parking.
Bergen Street Depot
The Bergen Street Shop is located at 1415 Bergen Street/1504 Dean Street between Albany and Troy Avenues in
Brook Street Depot
Brook Street Depot is located at 100 Brook Street/539 Jersey Street in Tompkinsville, Staten Island (40°38′11″N 74°05′03″W / 40.636411°N 74.084085°W). The site is bound by Brook Street to the north, Victory Boulevard to the south, Pike Street to the east, and Jersey Street and Castleton Avenue to the west.[6][234][305][306] It was originally a streetcar barn built around 1902 for the Richmond Light and Railroad Company,[147][234][307][308] which became Richmond Railways in 1927.[147][308] The barn became a bus depot for the successor Staten Island Coach Company between 1934 and 1937.[147][234][306] The depot was taken over by Isle Transportation in 1946.[13][309] It was acquired by the city Board of Transportation in 1947,[5][6][13][234] and was rebuilt in the late 1940s for municipal bus operations.[6] The new depot was designed to store 100 buses.[6] In 1958 the depot, now under the control of the New York City Transit Authority, was turned over to the New York City Board of Estimate.[234][307] That year, it was converted into a garage for the New York City Department of Sanitation (DSNY).[234][305][307] In response to local community opposition of the site, the city plans to replace the depot with a new DSNY garage on the West Shore near the former Fresh Kills Landfill, while the old depot is planned to be replaced with a residential development.[234][307][310][311]
Crosstown Depot
The Crosstown Depot, also referred to as the Crosstown Annex Facility[312][313][314] or Crosstown Paint Shop,[28][31] is located at 55/65 Commercial Street near the intersection of Commercial and Box Streets in the neighborhood of Greenpoint, Brooklyn, on the southern shore of Newtown Creek (40°44′13″N 73°57′27″W / 40.737072°N 73.957400°W).[6][28][312][313][314][315][316]
The first Crosstown Depot was opened in 1885 as a streetcar depot by the Brooklyn Heights Railroad, located at Manhattan Avenue between Box and Clay Streets. It later become part of the BRT/BMT system under the Brooklyn and Queens Transit Corporation (B&QT).[111][115][312][317] The original depot consisted of a two-story brick building, with trolley loops at ground level used for turning trolleys.[94][115] Around 1945, the depot was no longer used for streetcar operations.[318] In September 1951, the old Crosstown Depot was sold by the Board of Transportation and used as a warehouse for a box manufacturer.[319][320][321][322] On June 30, 1952, the depot was the origin point of an eight-alarm fire that killed at least one person and destroyed 15 buildings including the depot.[94][318][320][323][324]
The site on Commercial Street was originally a refinery for the
The Crosstown Depot has since been converted to a paint shop and road service operations facility, located in the former repair shop. The facility contains three paint booths to paint MTA buses, the third of which was installed in 2001.[29][31][312][313][314] The paint shop operations were consolidated into those of the Grand Avenue Facility when the latter opened in 2008.[329] The site also houses the New York City Subway's Department of Emergency Response in the former administration building, and an Access-A-Ride storage facility utilizing the former bus storage area.[330][331] The site is planned for redevelopment into a waterfront park, called "Box Street Park".[330][331][332][333]
DeKalb Depot
The DeKalb Depot, also known as the DeKalb Avenue Depot or DeKalb Avenue Shops, was located on the east side of
Edgewater Depot
The Edgewater Depot, also called Edgewater Pier,[328] was located at 60/171 Edgewater Street[334] on the coastline of Rosebank, Staten Island (40°37′09″N 74°04′06″W / 40.619279°N 74.068309°W), the former area of the Pouch Terminal (Piers 20 and 21).[5][335] It was leased from Pouch Terminal, Inc. in 1977,[5][335] and used to relieve overcrowding at the Staten Island Depot (now Castleton Avenue Depot), which had been the only bus depot in the borough.[5][335] It was later discovered that the terminal was about to be foreclosed, and could have been acquired by the city at no cost.[335] A fire destroyed Pier 20 in 1978, rendering the depot useless until 1983.[5] During that time, the depot stored several new General Motors-built RTS-04 buses awaiting entry into revenue service in 1982.[328] On February 18, 1983, two GMC fishbowl buses on loan from Washington DC's Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) fell into the Narrows after one of its piers collapsed.[334] Although the TA initially planned to rehabilitate the depot,[336] Edgewater was permanently abandoned in 1985 when it was found to be structurally unsafe for use as a bus depot.[5]
An office building is located near the site, at 1 Edgewater Street or 1 Edgewater Plaza, used by the MTA, Staten Island Community Board 1, and other organizations.[337][338][339] It was originally a Pouch Terminal warehouse, re-purposed for office use from 1973 to the 1980s.[340][341]
