The New York City Transit Authority operates two bus routes - the Bx1 Grand Concourse and Bx2 Grand Concourse - on the Grand Concourse in the Bronx, New York City, United States. As the numbers suggest, these were the first two bus franchises in the Bronx. ==Bx1 and Bx2 buses== Except at their extreme ends, the Bx1 and Bx2 share the same aligmnent. The only differences are: *In Mott Haven, the Bx2 turns east at Hostos Community College and then runs along 149th Street to serve the shopping district between there and Third Avenue, then operating down Third Avenue, while the Bx1 continues down the Grand Concourse. *In Kingsbridge Heights, only the Bx1 (except for some early morning Bx2 cut-ins and early Sunday AM service) continues down into Riverdale along 231 Street. The Bx1 and Bx2 bus routes share the majority of their alignment from the Grand Concourse and 149th Street north along the Concourse and Mosholu Parkway and west along Sedgwick Avenue to Heath Avenue on the west side of the Jerome Park Reservoir. At their ends, a divergence occurs as noted above. Until August 2008, when permanent traffic reconfigurations were done in Mott Haven at 149th Street, Melrose/Willis Avenues, and Third Avenue, the Bx2 turned east off of the Grand Concourse at 165th Street and ran down Melrose Avenue to 149th Street. Along the way, connections to the subway can be made at Third Avenue – 138th Street, 138th Street – Grand Concourse (Bx1 only), 149th Street – Grand Concourse, Third Avenue – 149th Street (Bx2 only), 161st Street – Yankee Stadium, Bedford Park Boulevard, Mosholu Parkway, and 231st Street (Bx1 all times, Bx2 Weekday (only ) and Sunday mornings only). As of September 2010, the Bx1 operates as a limited-stop service during the daytime on weekdays and Saturdays, while the Bx2 serves as the local. Before September 2010, both routes had a limited-stop variant. 〔(), effective September 2013〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Grand Concourse buses」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
