The Bx3 starts with the Шаблон:NYC bus link buses at 179th Street in Washington Heights, Manhattan. It then uses 181st Street to access the Washington Bridge, which it uses to get to The Bronx. Immediately after the bridge, it turns onto University Avenue, which it continues on until Kingsbridge Road, serving Morris Heights and University Heights. After doing a dogleg turn onto Sedgwick Avenue, it passes through the Kingsbridge Heights neighborhood, before using 238th Street to its terminus at Broadway.[1][2]

History

Buses replaced University Avenue Line streetcars on October 25, 1947, operating as the Bx38. The route was renamed to the Bx3, and extended from 181st Street to 179th Street in September 1985.[3] Until 1995, late night service terminated at Kingsbridge Road, it was extended to 238th Street in 1995.[4]

Equipment

The Bx3 operates out of Kingsbridge Depot. It uses Kingsbridge's fleet of 40-foot (12-metre) buses.
