The Church Avenue Line is a public transit line in Brooklyn, New York City, running mainly along 39th Street and Church Avenue between Sunset Park and Brownsville. Originally a streetcar line, it is now the B35 bus route, operated by MTA New York City Bus' Jackie Gleason Depot in Sunset Park.
The B35 bus route starts at a cut-off lane on 39th Street slightly east of 1st Avenue in Sunset Park. This terminus is shared with the B70. The B35 and B70 then run east on 39th Street until 3rd Avenue, where the B35 remains on 3rd Avenue and the B70 operates via 3rd Avenue and 36th/37th Streets, serving the 36th Street (BMT Fourth Avenue Line) station. At 4th Avenue, the B70 goes back to 39th Street and continues east on 39th Street until 8th Avenue. Here, the B70 heads south along 8th Avenue to Dyker Heights while the B35 continues east on 39th Street to 13th Avenue and 14th Avenues, where it switches to Church Avenue.
Once on Church Avenue, the B35 continues east along that street. It serve multiple neighborhoods and interchanges with multiple bus and subway lines along the way. The line continues along the length of Church Avenue until East 98th Street, where buses turn south along East 98th Street and on Hegeman Avenue to the terminal at Hegeman Avenue and Mother Gaston Boulevard in Brownsville, just south of New Lots Avenue. Despite the front destination signs on the buses saying "Brownsville-M Gaston Blvd", the map of the route on the schedule says that buses continue on Hegeman west to terminate at Rockaway Avenue, even though the bus stops along eastbound Hegeman Avenue say that B35 buses to Sunset Park stop there.
This route serves the Bush Terminal Warehouses and the Brookdale Hospital Medical Center. It also connects with the B7, B8, B15 to JFK Airport, B16, B17, B41 Limited, B44 Select Bus Service, B46 Limited, B47, B49 Limited, B60, B63, B67/B69, B68, B70 B103 Limited, BM1, BM2, BM3, and BM4 bus routes and these subway stations:
