NYRA announces updated bus service to Aqueduct

The New York Racing Association (NYRA) has announced updated bus service to

Aqueduct Racetrack from select New York City Off-Track Betting parlor locations

in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island, with the new schedule going

into effect on Wednesday. Aqueduct will return from a 10-day holiday hiatus

Wednesday with a 1ST-race post time of 12:30 (EST).

Previously existing routes in Staten Island and the Bronx, along with the

Queens route that stopped at 253-01 Northern Boulevard, 136-55 Roosevelt Avenue

and 31-35 Downing, have been discontinued due to low ridership. However, a new

route that will stop at 2795 Richmond Avenue in Staten Island and 6719 Bay

Parkway in Brooklyn has been added on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays.

At the conclusion of the racing day, 15 minutes after the final post at

Aqueduct, the buses will leave from the Clubhouse entrance and drop patrons off

at the same pick-up points.

NYRA began offering buses from Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Queens on December 4.

There are now seven bus routes that will run until further notice.
