📍 Open B14 Bus TimeB14 Fare: OMNY, Transfers, Reduced Fare, MetroCard and Cash Notes
B14 is a local MTA bus route, so the regular local bus fare applies. Most riders should tap with OMNY using a contactless card, smartphone, wearable or OMNY Card. Use the same payment method when transferring so you do not lose transfer benefits.
| Fare topic | What B14 riders should know | Common mistake |
|---|---|---|
| Regular fare | MTA lists local bus fare at $3 for most riders. | Confusing local bus fare with express bus fare. |
| Reduced fare | Eligible seniors and riders with qualifying disabilities pay half the regular fare. | Expecting reduced fare without the required setup. |
| Transfers | Use the same card or device for transfers within the allowed transfer window. | Tapping with a phone once and a physical card next. |
| MetroCard | MTA says MetroCard can no longer be bought or refilled as of 2026, though remaining value rules should be checked. | Planning around a refill that is no longer available. |
| Cash | Cash rules are changing in 2026; check current MTA fare rules before relying on coins. | Arriving without a working OMNY option during a time-sensitive trip. |
⚠️ Same-payment rule
For OMNY transfers and fare caps, keep using the same payment method. A physical card and the same card in a phone wallet may not always behave like the same tap source.

B14 Accessibility and Safer Waiting Tips
For accessibility and comfort, the biggest B14 issue is usually not the route number. It is the exact stop environment: curbside condition, street crossing, night visibility, weather exposure and whether the stop is on the correct side of the street.
Boarding support
Use official MTA accessibility resources and allow extra boarding time if you need ramp or mobility support.
Late-night spacing
Overnight gaps can be wider. Check live arrival before waiting outside.
Weather delays
Rain, snow, heat, flooding and traffic can change B14 running time.
Caregiver tip
Share the exact stop name, direction and Bus Time link, not just “take the B14.”
