W 86 St/West End Av

On the west side of Manhattan, transit options thin out once you cross Broadway. W 86 St/West End Av sits where the grid softens into the quieter blocks near Riverside Park. This stop catches the M104, M11, and M7 buses, bridging the gap between the numbered avenues and the Hudson River without forcing a detour to the subway. Buses here run along West End Avenue, a street lined with pre-war buildings and the occasional sidewalk café. New York, NY 10024 places the stop within walking distance of both the 72nd Street subway station and the park’s northern entrance. Riders heading uptown or downtown can transfer without backtracking through crowded sidewalks. Public transit in this neighborhood often feels like the only way to move without a car. The stop itself is a simple shelter, but its location makes it a practical choice for anyone traveling between the Upper West Side and Midtown. For schedules or real-time updates, call 511 and select the MTA option. Directions to the exact curb are easiest with the map. Bus stops don’t need reservations, just a MetroCard or OMNY tap.
