The Roosevelt Field Mall Bus Terminal (also known as the Roosevelt Field Bus Terminal or simply the Roosevelt Field Bus Station[1]) is a major bus hub serving bus routes operated by Nassau Inter-County Express (NICE), located at the south end of Roosevelt Field Mall in the East Garden City section of Uniondale, Nassau County, New York.[2][3][4] It features a total of seven bus bays and is located adjacent to the mall's south parking garage.[2][4][5][6]

History

Buses began serving the Roosevelt Field Mall around the time of the center's opening in 1956. By the early 1960s, as demand grew, additional bus services began serving the mall, stopping at the original bus terminal on the west side of the mall.[7][8][9]

In 1965, Schenck Transportation Co. – at the time one of Nassau County's major bus operators – provided express bus service between Roosevelt Field & various other points in Nassau County and the 1964 New York World's Fair in Flushing Meadows–Corona Park, Queens.[10]

In 1991, the present bus terminal opened on the south side of the mall, having been relocated from the west side.[6][11] This move came when the mall was undergoing a major expansion project, which included the addition of its second floor.[6][11] The relocated facility would also simplify the bus routes through the area, as previously, several buses serving the mall had to travel most of the way around the center to enter the terminal.[6][11]

Layout

The Roosevelt Field Mall Bus Terminal features a total of seven bus bays on a single level. It is located adjacent to – and south of – the mall's Orange (south) Parking Deck.[1][2][4][5] Adjacent to Bay 1 is a security booth and vending machines. Parking and a plaza containing another passenger waiting area are located immediately south of all seven bays.[1][2][4][5]

Bus routes

As of March 2025, the bus terminal is served by eight bus routes: the n15, n16, n22, n22x, n24, n27, n35, and n43.[2] All eight routes are operated by Nassau Inter-County Express.[2]
