  • List of bus routes in Staten Island

    The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) operates a number of bus routes in Staten Island, New York, United States. Some of them are the direct descendants of streetcar lines (see list of streetcar lines in Staten Island). Most of the routes run to the St. George Ferry Terminal of the Staten Island Ferry. At least one other route is operated by a private company.

    This table gives details for the routes prefixed with "S" - in other words, those considered to run primarily in Staten Island by the MTA. For details on routes with other prefixes, see the following articles:

    Operated as a Select Bus Service route with specially-wrapped buses, the S79 provides full-time limited-stop service. Formerly a local route, the S79 was converted to an SBS route in 2012, with the number of stops cut by about three-quarters.

    Lugano–Ponte Tresa railway

    The Lugano–Ponte Tresa railway or Ferrovia Lugano–Ponte Tresa (FLP) is a local railway line in the Italian speaking canton of Ticino, in south-east Switzerland. The line links the town of Lugano with Ponte Tresa, and is 12.3 kilometres (7.6 mi) long. It is built to metre gauge (3 ft 3 38 in gauge), and is electrified on the overhead system at 1350 volts DC. It is operated by the Ferrovie Luganesi company.

    The FLP opened in 1912 and is the last working line of an interconnected network including two other suburban lines, the Lugano–Tesserete railway and the Lugano–Cadro–Dino railway, and the urban tramways of Lugano. There are proposals to extend the line back into some of the areas formerly covered by this network.

    The FLP is a member of the Arcobaleno tariff network and operates as line S60 of the Rete celere del Canton Ticino. Trains run every 15 minutes on weekdays and every 30 minutes on weekends.

    History

    The first proposal for a railway between Lugano and Ponte Tresa dates back to 1877, when a standard gauge line was proposed with the expectation it would be extended to Varese in Italy. However nothing was done until 1910, when the Ferrovie Luganesi company was founded to construct a narrow gauge electric railway between the two towns.
