Bus Service

Berkeley Carroll is truly a New York City school. We recognize that accessibility to our campus helps ensure the diversity of our community and that convenience is important, especially for working families.

To make it easier for students from every neighborhood and borough to attend Berkeley Carroll, we are proud to offer bus service to eligible students.

Expanded Service

Since its inception in 2013, our bus service has served more families from more neighborhoods every year. Our service is provided through ARJ, a private transportation company based in Brooklyn. At present, we offer nine bus routes for our Lower School students, which serve many neighborhoods in Brooklyn, and eleven routes for our Middle and Upper School students, which serve neighborhoods in Brooklyn, Queens and Manhattan. We do not currently offer service in Staten Island, the Bronx or New Jersey.

Eligibility and How to Register

Transportation eligibility is determined on the basis of the student's grade level and walking distance between the student's residence and school campus based on division. Please review the distance requirements carefully. To determine the walking distance from your residence to school, please go to Google Maps.

In order to meet the increased demand for service, all buses will make designated joint stops; door-to-door service is not provided.

A bus registration form is sent to returning and new students each June. There is an annual non-refundable $500 registration fee charged at that time. Bus routes are sent out at the end of August.
