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.

Current active fleet

All buses are fully compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. Unless indicated otherwise, all buses are 102 inches (2.59 meters) wide.

Built from 1991-1994 - retirement in progress

These buses are all 40 feet (12.19 meters) long and are used in local service. Units of each fleet class are operated under New York City Bus and MTA Bus. All models in this table are being replaced or partially replaced with the Orion VII Next Generation and DesignLine EcoSaver IV models (unless noted otherwise), or by buses being bought secondhand from the Bee-Line Bus System. The original operator is listed for each fleet class.
