New Jersey Transit Bus Operations operates interstate bus routes running to various destinations in Manhattan in New York City. Most serve the Port Authority Bus Terminal (PABT) in Midtown Manhattan; the remainder serve the George Washington Bridge Bus Terminal in Washington Heights or run on the streets of Lower Manhattan.

#7103 on 139 express line via Route 9 in Old Bridge

Below is a list of routes sorted by region and number, followed by major streets, general details on its operation (e.g. variations, express services, short turns, operating hours), history, and garages where the routes are based. Unless otherwise noted, routes operating during rush hour run to New York during the AM rush and to New Jersey during the PM rush.

Many of the routes serving PABT make stops along 30th and 31st Streets corridor in Union City at street level rather than running nonstop on Route 495. The designation "Serves Union City" indicates those routes which frequently do this and is not used for routes which make local stops anywhere other than 30th and 31st Streets.
