Riding the New York City's MTA Brooklyn B44 Select Bus Service bus bound to Williamsburg, during day time, on the right side of the bus. This is a full route.

== About the Select Bus Service ===============
The Select Bus Service (SBS) is an express service bus that usually runs over an existing route, making express stops. In the case of the B44 SBS, it runs over the same route as the B44 bus. However, the B44 SBS makes only 18 stops, while the regular B44 makes 72 stops (SEVENTY TWO!).

Another curiosity about the Select Bus Service, is that you're not supposed to pay for the fare inside the bus. Instead, you're supposed to get a fare ticket on ticket machines installed at the bus stop (you should see them quite a few times along the video), and keep them for the duration of your journey. You may be asked for them as proof of payment, and you may get fined if you don't have them. The intention behind this method, is to speed the boarding process on these buses. Select Bus Service buses usually open their rear doors for passengers to board as well.

With the adoption of Omny in New York City (the taptopay system), you are allowed to tap to pay inside a Select Bus Service, since the ticket machines installed at the bus stops don't take any type of payment other than a Metrocard loaded with enough credit to pay for the trip.
