Hi. I need some travel information. I need to go to 52nd Street and Broadway. I live on the 8th street, near Fifth Avenue.

Well, you can take the B12 bus to Mercer Street. Then, you'll have to catch the B9. You can take the subway, too.
Alexa
I live near a bus stop, so I prefer to take the bus. What time does it come?
Officer
The buses run about every 15 minutes. Bus schedules are posted at the bus stop. You can also check our websites.

How much does it cost?

You'll need $2 in change. The driver won't take dollar bills, and he won't give you change. Make sure you have the exact change.

Okay. Thanks for the help. have a good day!
