Stop Signage

Within the service area, the color of the route on a bus stop sign indicates the type of service run. Routes are branded on bus stop signs, which are normally located every 2-3 blocks apart in most cases.

All bus stops are in effect at all times unless otherwise indicated by signage.

Bee-Line Bus System local bus stops (pickup only except along Boston Road, Mundy Lane, and through Pelham Bay Park, where there are pick-up and drop-off). Nassau Inter-County Express local bus stops within New York City limits (pickup only except in Far Rockaway).
Purple	New York City Bus and MTA Bus limited-stop bus service.

Famous quotes containing the word stop:

“Children who are not spoken to by live and responsive adults will not learn to speak properly. Children who are not answered will stop asking questions. They will become incurious. And children who are not told stories and who are not read to will have few reasons for wanting to learn to read.”
—Gail Haley (20th century)
