MTA Regional Bus Operations operates (as of 2007; the organization was formed in spring 2008) 6,251 buses in fixed-route service under three different brands: MTA New York City Bus (New York City Transit) (including Select Bus Service, a sub-brand under the New York City Bus brand), MTA Bus, and Long Island Bus, within New York City and Nassau County.

A roster of the fleet is shown below. Not included below are buses and vans not open to the general public (ADA Access-A-Ride or Able-Ride vans and taxicabs, and employee shuttle buses), or demonstration buses.
