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). Many routes run to the St. George Terminal, at St. George in northeastern Staten Island, where there are connections to the Staten Island Ferry. The fare, payable by MetroCard, coins, or the OMNY contactless payment system, is $2.90 as of 2023. Discount fares are available.
Routes
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:

= S79 Select Bus Service =
Operated as a Select Bus Service (SBS) route. The S79 provides SBS service at all times. Originally a local route, the S79 was converted to an SBS route in 2012, with the number of stops cut by about three-quarters.[http://www.silive.com/news/index.ssf/2012/07/mta_putting_the_speedball_on_s.html "MTA putting the speedball on Staten Island's S79 bus"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180526174029/http://www.silive.com/news/index.ssf/2012/07/mta_putting_the_speedball_on_s.html |date=2018-05-26 }} - July 25, 2012, silive.com But unlike the SBS buses in the rest of New York City, the S79 has no fare machines at bus stops, so fares are collected onboard the bus.

Bus route history
Except for the S61, all current Staten Island bus routes originally had different designations before they were renumbered by service patterns, as follows:{{Cite web|url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/127872292@N06/41632934731/in/album-72157654552220038/|title=Staten Island Bus Service A Guide to Route Renumbering Effective April 15, 1990|date=April 1990|website=Flickr|publisher=New York City Transit Authority|access-date=February 15, 2019|archive-date=November 19, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231119221954/https://www.flickr.com/photos/127872292@N06/41632934731/in/album-72157654552220038/|url-status=live}}
- S4x: North Shore services
- S5x: North-south cross-island services
- S6x: Victory Boulevard services
- S7x: South Shore services
- S8x & S9x: Limited-stop versions of their respective local routes ending in the same number. (Ex: S62/S92, S48/S98). S8x routes provide north-south limited stop service while S9x routes provide east-west limited stop service. The S81, S84, and S86 are limited-stop versions of the S51, S74, and S76 respectively, while the S91, S94, and S96 are limited-stop versions of the S61, S44, and S46 respectively.{{Rp|D.9}}
On April 2, 1989, routes on the North Shore of Staten Island were renumbered.*{{cite web |title=We're Changing S48 (Formerly S107) S40 (Formerly S1) S46 (Formerly S3) Bus Service |url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/127872292@N06/48123436623/in/dateposted-ff/ |website=Flickr |publisher=New York City Transit Authority |access-date=June 24, 2019 |date=1989 |archive-date=December 1, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231201082033/https://www.flickr.com/photos/127872292@N06/48123436623/in/dateposted-ff/ |url-status=live }}

The implementation of this numbering scheme was completed on April 15, 1990, when the final eight routes, all from St. George, were renumbered.{{Cite web |date=1990 |title=Staten Island Bus Service: A Guide to Route Renumbering Effective: April 15, 1990 |url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/unionturnpike/41632934641/in/album-72157709281480068/ |access-date=May 28, 2023 |website=Flickr |publisher=New York City Transit Authority |archive-date=May 28, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230528235417/https://www.flickr.com/photos/unionturnpike/41632934641/in/album-72157709281480068/ |url-status=live }}
Old and new routes are given below, along with discontinued service patterns. In addition, before 1975, routes were designated with R (for Richmond, the borough's official name before 1975) instead of S. The R designation is shown in the "Old Route" section.
