Buses were substituted for streetcars by the Eighth Avenue Coach Corporation, a New York Railways subsidiary,[17] on November 12, 1935,^[2][18][19] and assigned the number M42.^[20] It was subsequently labeled 11 by the New York City Omnibus Corporation when it gained control in 1936.^[21][22]

In its first 30 years in bus service, the 11's northern terminus was at La Salle Street and Broadway. On June 20, 1965, it was extended to 132nd Street and Broadway.[23] On May 9, 1977, service was extended along Amsterdam Avenue to 135th Street.^[24] On June 26, 1994, the route was extended along 135th Street and Riverside Drive to Riverbank State Park during park hours–7 a.m. to 11 p.m.^[25] During other times, the route terminated at its previous terminal at 132nd Street and Broadway. This extension added service along Riverside Drive between West 135th Street and West 145th Street, and provided access to the park from the south. The M11's previous terminal required a U-turn on Broadway, and the extension removed the safety hazard. After six-months, ridership on the extension was lower than expected, and the route extension was to be reevaluated after summer 1995.^[26]

On January 9, 2005, M11 and M14 service was rerouted to run via 14th Street instead of 15th Street between Ninth Avenue and Tenth Avenue to avoid congestion.^[27]
