Broome County Transit, popularly branded as B.C. Transit, is the public transportation system serving Broome County, New York, which includes the city of Binghamton and surrounding communities.

B.C. Transit's logo is that of the character Thor from the comic strip B.C., drawn by Endicott native Johnny Hart. The "B.C." is also based (very) loosely on one of the logos from that comic strip as well.

B.C. Transit was founded in 1968 when Broome County took over the assets of the private Triple Cities Traction Corporation, a takeover similar to those that took place in Rochester and Schenectady years prior. Unlike those city's transit systems, which became part of public benefit corporations, B.C. Transit is still owned and operated by the county (Department of Public Transportation) and is the largest such operator in Upstate New York (third largest overall in the state).

At the time of B.C. Transit's formation, they inherited the token stock of Triple Cities Traction Corporation and that company's predecessor, the Binghamton Railway Company. These same tokens, some dating back to the turn of the 20th century, circulated until B.C. Transit phased out the token at the end of 2005 when they went to electronic fare collection.

Some routes that begin or terminate at BC Junction and/or Binghamton University continue as another route rather than turning around. For example, the outbound 5 Vestal from BC Junction becomes an inbound 15 Leroy upon reaching the BU Campus (likewise an outbound 15 Leroy turns into an inbound 5 Vestal at the University.) The same is true for:
