B.C. Transit Page

The Broome County Department of Public Transportation was formed in 1968 to provide public transit in and around Binghamton. Today, B.C. Transit, the largest county-run transit system in New York State, offers service within the urban area of Broome County, comprising the Town of Vestal, the villages of Endicott and Johnson City, and the City of Binghamton, with nineteen fixed bus routes and a fleet of 43 Orion V, VI and VII hybrid buses. B.C. Transit also operates B.C. Country, which uses eight wheelchair-accessible minibuses to run five demand-responsive variable routes in the rural areas of Broome County. In all, B.C. Transit serves about 200,000 residents.
