Suffolk County Transit

Suffolk County Transit (SCT) is the public transit bus system of Suffolk County, New York, on Long Island, and is an agency of the Suffolk County government. It was founded in 1980 as a county-run oversight and funding agency for a group of private contract operators which previously provided such services on their own. While the physical maintenance and operation of the buses continue to be provided by these contractors, other matters ranging from bus purchases to route and schedule planning to fare rules are set by Suffolk Transit itself.

Though serving the entirety of Suffolk County, the one exception is in Huntington – located in the northwestern part of the county, where that town's private operator declined to join SCT. Instead, Huntington took over that town's system which became Huntington Area Rapid Transit, or HART. Most of HART's routes do connect to both Suffolk County Transit and Nassau Inter-County Express, transfers can be made between HART and SCT. In addition, the village of Patchogue previously had its own local bus service, but discontinued it.
