Buses on the B110 route do not accept MetroCard or OMNY, instead charging a one-way exact change fare of US$5.00.
In October 2011, the B110 was reported in several New York newspapers to have signs requiring female passengers to sit in the back to avoid possible contact with men, as is considered necessary by some Hasidic Jewish groups in the area it serves.[{{cite news |last=Haughney |first=Christine |title=At Front of Brooklyn Bus, a Clash of Religious and Women's Rights

- Bay Parkway bus began August 24, 1931 by Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit.
- Cozine Avenue service was new route in 1968 as B84.
- On May 10, 1987, as a part of a series of changes to B6 and B11 bus service, with the shortening of the B11 to Brooklyn College, a third-leg transfer would be introduced between the B6 and B11 to ensure that riders would not have to pay a second fare. In addition, B6 service was rerouted to Glenwood Road from Flatlands Avenue between East 103rd Street and Rockaway Parkway, and eastbound service was rerouted to stay on Avenue H and Ralph Avenue instead of East 56th Street and Farragut Road. Weekday and Saturday service operating only between Cozine Avenue and Ashford Street and Rockaway Parkway station was increased.

- Original eastern terminus was Ashford Street; extended along Ashford Street in 1989.
- In May 2000, the MTA announced a plan to implement limited-stop service along the route on weekdays westbound between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m. and eastbound between 6 a.m. and 7 p.m.. The change was expected to save $95,000 a year. Limited-stop buses would skip local stops between Rockaway Parkway station and Coney Island Avenue, and make all stops to the east and to the west. While limited-stop service would operate, about every other B6 would run limited. Local bus service would mainly operate between Rockaway Parkway station and Coney Island Avenue.

B16

- Began on October 28, 1931 by Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit.
- In September 1994, the route was extended {{Convert|0.6|miles|km|abbr=}} north via Ocean Avenue to Flatbush Avenue and Empire Boulevard to provide direct connections with the B41, B47 and B48. This change also eliminated the need for the route to turnaround using Saint Paul's Place, which is a narrow one-way street that is often blocked due to congestion and extensive road repairs, which resulted in unreliable service. Northbound buses had turned north on St. Paul's Place and east on Parkside Avenue to the terminal on Ocean Avenue. The extension cost $140,000 annually, of which it was offset by $70,000 to $85,000 due to expected increases in ridership. This was funded as part of the 1994 Fare Deal/Ridership Growth Initiatives Program.

- Began in 1922 by Kings Coach Company.
- Former western terminus was Avenue U (BMT Brighton Line) station.
- Rerouted to the B2 western terminus (Kings Highway (BMT Brighton Line)) station in 1989. A public hearing was held on June 22, 1989. The change was made to provide a direct connection to Kings Highway, which had more subway service as it was an express stop. The extension also allowed for connections to the B5, B7 and B50. Two alternatives were considered to extend the route. The first would have extended it north along Gerritsen Avenue to Avenue R and then follow the B2 to Kings Highway. The second alternative would have kept the route along Avenue U to Ocean Avenue before turning north to Avenue R and then running along the B2 route. The first alternative was chosen as it was the more direct route, had fewer bus transfer impacts, and provided additional service along Gerritsen Avenue.

- In March 2000, plans were announced to modify the terminal loops of the B43 and B48 to serve the Lincoln Road entrance to the Prospect Park subway station to eliminate a two-block walk and allow dispatchers and bus operators to use the new dispatcher office and restrooms at the subway station. At the time, buses had terminated at Washington Avenue and Empire Boulevard; the southbound stop was on Washington Avenue, and buses continued via Flatbush Avenue to head back into service on Empire Boulevard. With the change, southbound buses would turn south onto Flatbush Avenue, and west on Lincoln Road to the new terminal, and northbound buses would continue west on Lincoln Road, turn north on Ocean Avenue, and turn east onto Empire Boulevard. The change was estimated to cost $37,000 a year, and was to be implemented in June 2000.

- In February 1999, the MTA announced plans to implement Sunday limited-stop service on the B41, B44, and B46 due to increased ridership. The $76,000 annual increase in costs was expected to be offset by increased ridership. The change was expected to be implemented in May 1999.
- Busiest bus route in Brooklyn; third busiest route in New York City.

B48

- Franklin Avenue Line streetcar until October 28, 1945.
- Lorimer Street Line streetcar until December 14, 1947.
- In March 2000, plans were announced to modify the terminal loops of the B43 and B48 to serve the Lincoln Road entrance to the Prospect Park subway station to eliminate a two-block walk and allow dispatchers and bus operators to use the new dispatcher office and restrooms at the subway station. At the time, buses had terminated at Washington Avenue and Empire Boulevard; the southbound stop was on Washington Avenue, and buses continued via Flatbush Avenue to head back into service on Empire Boulevard. With the change, southbound buses would turn south onto Flatbush Avenue, and west on Lincoln Road to the new terminal, and northbound buses would continue west on Lincoln Road, turn north on Ocean Avenue, and turn east onto Empire Boulevard. The change was estimated to cost $37,000 a year, and was to be implemented in June 2000.
- Route originally continued to Lefferts Gardens; service south of Fulton Street discontinued in July 2010, restored on January 6, 2013.

B52
|
- Greene and Gates Avenues Line streetcar until October 5, 1941.
- The B52 was rerouted to run two-way on Gates Avenue between Spring 1991 and October 1993 to accommodate the reconstruction of Greene Avenue and Quincy Street, which was subsequently deferred. The B52 returned to running eastbound on Quincy Street and Linden Street and running westbound on Gates Avenue. The local community then requested reinstating two-way service via Gates Avenue because the street was wider, there was less congestion, and because there were greater housing development densities on that street. Brooklyn Community Boards 2, 3 and 4 supported the change, and a public hearing was held on June 16, 1994.

- Flushing Avenue Line streetcar until November 21, 1948.
- Court Street Line streetcar until July 17, 1949.
- Smith Street Line (surface) streetcar until February 11, 1951.
- In September 1996, B57 service was slated to be extended {{Convert|0.7|miles|km|abbr=}} west to the center of Downtown Brooklyn at Smith Street at Livingston Street via Jay Street from its previous terminal at Sands Street and Jay Street. The extension was intended to encourage ridership growth by providing direct access to Downtown Brooklyn, to provide transfers to other routes and to create a common terminal with the B51, B57 and B65. In addition, the B57's route path was revised to loop around the Farragut House, running along York Street between Navy Street and Gold Street, to make up for the loss of the B61, which was rerouted.

- In September 1996, the B61 was slated to be rerouted, eliminating the deviation it made along Sands Street, Gold Street, York Street and Navy Street to serve the Farragut Houses, instead running directly along Tillary Street. The change was to be done so buses could avoid traffic on Jay Street and Sands Street, which is the entrance to the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway and the Brooklyn Bridge and to enhance the route's growing use as an interborough route between Downtown Brooklyn and Long Island City. This change saved riders five minutes in each direction. B57 service was to be rerouted to maintain service to the Farragut Houses.

- Began on August 27, 1936 by Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit.
- In April 2002, plans were announced to modify the eastbound route of the B77 to eliminate delays along Bush Street after the opening and expansion of an entrance to a waste transfer station. Instead of running via Lorraine Street, Court Street, Bush Street, and Smith Street, buses would run via Lorraine Street, Court Street, Hamilton Avenue, Bush Street, and Smith Street. This change was implemented on a temporary basis in 2001.
