Bus route history
Except for the S61, all current Staten Island bus routes originally had different designations before they were renumbered by service patterns, as follows:
- S4x: North Shore services
- S5x: North-south cross-island services
- S6x: Victory Boulevard services
- S7x: South Shore services
- S8x & S9x: Limited-stop versions of their respective local routes ending in the same number. (Ex: S62/S92, S48/S98). The S81, S84, and S86 are limited-stop versions of the S51, S74, and S76 respectively, while the S91, S94, and S96 are limited-stop versions of the S61, S44, and S46 respectively.
Old and new routes are given below, along with discontinued service patterns. In addition, before 1975, routes were designated with R (for Richmond, the borough's official name before 1975) instead of S. The R designation is shown in the "Old Route" section. S8x routes run north-south while S9x routes runs east-west.
