N24 Route Overview: Jamaica, Mineola, Roosevelt Field and Hicksville
The N24 is best understood as a corridor route with a major transfer point at Roosevelt Field. Riders coming from Queens often travel toward Roosevelt Field or Nassau County. Riders from Hicksville or Old Country Road may travel only as far as Roosevelt Field, then continue on another trip or transfer.
Jamaica / Queens side
Jamaica Bus Terminal, Hillside Avenue, Francis Lewis Boulevard and Jamaica Avenue / 240 Street are key NYC-side points.
Mineola / Jericho Tp
Jericho Turnpike and Mineola Bus Terminal are central points for Nassau transfers and local Nassau trips.
Roosevelt Field hub
Roosevelt Field Bus Terminal is a major N24 timepoint and transfer point. Many trips are staged around this terminal.
Hicksville side
Old Country Road, Carman Avenue Extension, Newbridge Road and Hicksville Station form the eastern section.
⚠️ Important correction for the title
N24 is often searched as an “NYC MTA” bus because it serves Jamaica and connects to MTA services. The operator is NICE Bus. Use NICE schedule tools, not MTA Bus Time, for final N24 arrivals.
N24 Schedule Summary: Timepoints, Segments and How to Read the Table
The official N24 page uses timepoints marked A through H. Timepoints are not every bus stop. They are schedule anchors that help you estimate the trip pattern. For your exact stop, use live-arrival tools and the stop list.
| Timepoint | Official stop label | What it means for riders | Common mistake |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | Jamaica Bus Term | Main Queens terminal and MTA/subway/LIRR transfer area. | Searching MTA Bus Time instead of NICE N24 tools. |
| B | 90 Av / Fr Lewis | Francis Lewis / Queens-side checkpoint before Bellerose/Jericho corridor. | Using the wrong side of Francis Lewis Boulevard. |
| C | 240 St / Jamaica | Bellerose / Jamaica Avenue timepoint. | Missing short-turn or Bellerose trip notes. |
| D | New Hyde Park Rd / Jericho | Jericho Turnpike corridor checkpoint. | Assuming all Jericho stops are served by every bus. |
| E | Mineola Bus Term | Major Nassau bus terminal and transfer point. | Not allowing transfer/walking time. |
| F | Roosevelt Field Bus Term | Major N24 split/transfer point for many trips. | Assuming the same bus always continues to Hicksville. |
| G | Carman Av Ext / Old Country | Old Country Road checkpoint east of Roosevelt Field. | Boarding a Roosevelt Field-only trip. |
| H | Hicksville Sta / Duffy | Hicksville LIRR / bus station area. | Not checking train or N24 direction before transferring. |
💡 N24 timing rule
Use the PDF to understand planned service by day. Use a live tracker for the final stop-level arrival. If your table row shows dashes after Roosevelt Field, that trip may not continue to Hicksville.
N24 Route Map and Major Stops: Use Direction Before Stop Name
Many N24 stops are on busy roads such as Hillside Avenue, Jamaica Avenue, Jericho Turnpike and Old Country Road. The correct stop side can matter more than the place name. Always match direction first.
Jamaica / Bellerose to Roosevelt Field
Jamaica Bus Terminal, Hillside Avenue, Francis Lewis Boulevard, Jamaica Avenue / 240 Street, New Hyde Park Road / Jericho Turnpike, Mineola Bus Terminal and Roosevelt Field Bus Terminal.
Roosevelt Field to Hicksville
Roosevelt Field Bus Terminal, Zeckendorf Boulevard, Old Country Road, Carle Road, Fortunoff Way, Merrick Avenue, Carman Avenue Extension, Levittown Parkway, Newbridge Road and Hicksville Station / Duffy.

Stop-code tip
For live arrivals, use the exact stop name or stop code in Transit, Moovit, Google Maps or the NICE route page instead of searching only “N24 near me.”
Map note
This map is for route discovery only. Use the official NICE route page, PDF and live apps for final stop, direction, trip segment, fare and alert decisions.
N24 Live Tracker: How to Check Real-Time Arrivals
N24 live tracking is more reliable when you search by route, direction and exact stop. Do not use MTA Bus Time for N24. Use NICE-listed apps, the NICE route page, Transit, Moovit, Google Maps or another app pulling current NICE data.
Search N24 / 24 Jericho Tp
Use the route code n24 or 24 Jericho Tp. Avoid typing only “N24 MTA” because that can return the wrong tools.
Choose destination
Select Jamaica, Roosevelt Field, Bellerose or Hicksville depending on the trip shown.
Pick exact stop
Use stop name, stop code or map pin. Jericho Turnpike and Old Country Road have many nearby stops.
Refresh at the stop
Refresh before walking and again at the stop. Traffic, terminal holds and short-turns can change arrival estimates.
N24 Fare and Payment: OMNY, Coins, GoMobile and Transfers
N24 uses NICE fare rules, not NYC MTA-only assumptions. NICE lists OMNY availability, coin payment, reduced fare rules, student fare conditions, children’s fare rules and mobile ticketing options. Check the official fare page before a time-sensitive trip because payment rules can change.
| Fare topic | N24 rider rule | Mistake to avoid |
|---|---|---|
| Regular fare | NICE lists regular fare as $3.00. | Using an old $2.90 or MetroCard-only article. |
| Reduced fare | NICE lists senior/disabled fare as $1.50 with accepted proof or card. | Assuming all NYC special cards are accepted on NICE. |
| Coins | NICE states fareboxes accept coins and do not accept dollar bills. | Arriving with only dollar bills. |
| OMNY transfers | Use the same OMNY payment method for eligible transfer handling. | Switching between phone, card and OMNY card during a transfer. |
| GoMobile/mobile tickets | Activate only when the correct bus has stopped and you are boarding. | Activating too early, then discovering the bus is full, wrong route or out of service. |
⚠️ Fare trap
Do not treat N24 like a normal NYC MTA local bus page. NICE has its own fare page, mobile ticket rules, reduced-fare details and transfer notes. Check NICE before paying.
Open official NICE fare rules before using OMNY, coins, reduced fare or mobile tickets.
💳 Check NICE FaresN24 Transfers: Jamaica, Mineola, Roosevelt Field and Hicksville
N24 is valuable because it connects multiple transfer systems. The transfer that matters depends on where you board and whether the trip continues past Roosevelt Field.
Jamaica Bus Terminal
Use for subway, NYC bus, LIRR and Queens-side connections. Build extra time for walking between transit modes.
Mineola Bus Terminal
Use for Nassau bus transfers and Mineola-area trips. Check whether your connection is timed or requires waiting.
Roosevelt Field
Use as the major transfer and split point. Some N24 trips end here, so verify the next segment before staying onboard.
Hicksville Station
Use for LIRR and Nassau/Suffolk-side transfers. Check train time separately before relying on the bus arrival.
N24 Alerts, Accessibility and Senior Rider Help
N24 riders should plan around traffic on Jericho Turnpike and Old Country Road, terminal waits at Roosevelt Field and Jamaica, and transfer walking time at major stations. Accessibility needs should be checked against the exact stop and live-arrival status.
- Before leaving: open NICE alerts and a live tracker for your stop.
- At Jamaica: confirm you are using the NICE N24 stop, not an MTA-only stop.
- At Roosevelt Field: check whether your bus continues or requires transfer to another N24 trip.
- At Hicksville: check LIRR status separately if your connection is time-sensitive.
- For caregivers: send the exact stop name and direction, not just “take the N24.”

Calling it MTA N24
N24 is NICE Bus. MTA tools may help with transfers, but NICE is the official route operator.
Ignoring Roosevelt Field split
Not every trip pattern is a simple one-seat Jamaica-to-Hicksville ride.
Reading timepoints as exact stops
The schedule uses key timepoints. Your curbside stop may differ.
Wrong side of the road
Jericho Turnpike and Old Country Road stops can be direction-sensitive.
Wrong fare assumption
Use NICE fare rules for N24, not a generic NYC local bus article.
No transfer buffer
Jamaica, Roosevelt Field, Mineola and Hicksville all require walking/terminal buffer time.
