In 1948, the streetcar route was converted into a bus route, operated by the New York City Transit Authority under the subsidiary Manhattan and Bronx Surface Transit Operating Authority (MaBSTOA), and initially designated as the Bx34. During the late 20th century, the Bx34 and another bus route named the Bx15A would be both renumbered the Bx6. The bus line became the third bus rapid transit route to enter service in the Bronx in 2017, when the Bx6 Select Bus Service (SBS) was split from the Bx6 Local.
