The New York Transit Museum’s beloved festival of vintage buses and surface vehicles returns September 8, 2024! Explore buses from our vintage fleet, representing more than 90 years of New York City surface transit history. Enjoy photo ops, meet some of the bus drivers who help keep our city moving, check out our pop-up shop, and take in the view of the Manhattan skyline from the Emily Roebling Plaza underneath the Brooklyn Bridge.
Bus Festival is free! Advanced registration (RSVP here) is encouraged but not required.
Registration enters you into a raffle for a chance to win a Family membership to the Museum (a $100 value)!
