The Hub, Bronx – 149th Street (local weekday service)
The Bx15 bus route constitutes a public transit line running primarily along Third Avenue and Willis Avenue through the South Bronx in New York City. Crossing into Manhattan, the full route also provides crosstown service along 125th Street in Harlem. Between its northern terminal at Fordham Plaza and The Hub at 149th Street, the route parallels the Bx41 bus route on Webster Avenue; the two routes are sometimes considered to share a single transit corridor through the central portion of the South Bronx.
The bus route is the successor to a streetcar line of the Union Railway Company and later the Third Avenue Railway known as the Willis Avenue Line or Willis Avenue−125th Street Line, which was replaced by bus service in 1941. From 1973 to 2013 the Bx15 shared Third Avenue with the Bx55, a limited-stop service which replaced rapid transit service on the Third Avenue Elevated line between The Hub and Williamsbridge. In 2013, the Bx55 was converted into the Bx15 Limited, extending the route south to Manhattan, but eliminating service north of Fordham Plaza.
