List of bus routes in Nassau County, New York

Jump to: navigation, search
A NICE bus picks up customers at Five Corners in Lynbrook on the N4.

The following bus routes are operated in Nassau County, New York. Most of these routes are operated under Nassau Inter-County Express (NICE), formerly MTA Long Island Bus, except in Greater Long Beach, where that city operates its own bus service. Some of them are the direct descendants of streetcar lines (see List of streetcar lines on Long Island and in Queens), and most were previously privately operated prior to 1973. These routes are designated on the buses, bus stop signs, and timetables with a lowercase "n". This article uses the capital "N" to remain consistent with prior nomenclature.

This table gives details for the routes that service Nassau County primarily. For details on routes that run into Nassau County but do not service it primarily, see:
