Getting to Fire Island just got easier! Bay Bus is the new Fire Island coach service providing daily, nonstop trips between Midtown Manhattan (38th St at 6th Ave) and the Fire Island Pines / Cherry Grove ferries (Sayville). We’re a bus for the community, by the community. The new transportation option for the modern-day traveler who prefers comfort and reliability, along with the enjoyment of sharing a ride with familiar faces.

Pets

Pets are permitted onboard and will be charged a $10 fee per pet. Small dogs or cats (under 30lbs) must remain in a DOT-approved carrier for the entire duration of the trip. The pet carrier must be placed under the seat or on your lap. The carrier must have a waterproof bottom, adequate ventilation, and the ability to fully enclose your pet (head may not stick out of the carrier and the pet must be able to completely turn around while enclosed).

Service Animals

Certified service dogs are welcome on board and are free of charge. Please note that we are not required to provide seating for service dogs and that service dogs must be housebroken and under control at all times. ADA regulations define service animals as working dogs, not pets. The work or task a service dog has been trained to provide must be directly related to the person's disability. Dogs whose sole function is to provide comfort or emotional support do not qualify as service animals under ADA guidelines.

Two checked bags per passenger are permitted at no charge. Additional bags are charged at $20.00 each. All luggage must be properly tagged with name, address, and contact information. Bay Bus has a $250 maximum lost luggage liability, per party per trip, as long as all bags are tagged properly. If your bags are lost, you must file a report with the Trip Host or Driver prior to leaving the coach. Failure to do so excludes Bay Bus from liability.

Yes, Bay Bus permits food and drink on board.

If you realize that you have left an important item behind after leaving the coach, please contact our lost and found by emailing info@fireislandbus.com. Please provide your trip date, origin and destination, time of travel, and detailed information regarding the item (i.e. model/serial number, brand, size, color, etc.). We will make every effort to locate your item and return it to you. We will contact you via email and phone if it’s located. If we have not located your item within 7 days from the time it was reported, it is not likely that it was turned in. While we make every effort to locate lost items, Bay Bus is not liable for unchecked items left on the coach.
