Thanks for the web help.
I am driving a coach bus for a school group. Need to park on May 15 and leave it until May 18. We are staying at 125 W. 26th st, in manhattan. Don’t mind parking a ways away! Thanks.

We are coming to NYC with 2 – 21 passenger school buses from the 9 – 12 of October and we need to know where we could park the buses without getting tickets or in trouble. We will be visiting various locations on the main island and doing a boat tour of Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty.

We will be spending one day in the battery park area any help for parking in this area also would be really helpful.

thanks

Hi Bob,

Excellent web site. Appreciate your efforts! Recently took a group to NYC, Philly and Dc and found your info most helpful. Didn’t feel I dare stop at Rockefeller Centre on Sun Aug 2nd as coaches had been ticketed the previous Sun. Tour guide wasn’t willing to pick up the ticket if i got one, so I passed the area slowly.
You had previously eluded to special commercial vehicle meters. I’m trying to find that comment.
I noted those meters at on 49th at the Rockefeller Plaza but hesitated to use them. I did however head S on 7th through Times Sq and right on 41st where I parked beside those meters on Sun morn without “hassel”.
Thanks,
Richard

Two paid parking lots are listed on NYC’s official bus info site (see the LINKS page under New York) … the 59th St. lot is probably within walking distance of the Hudson Hotel:

• 11th Avenue, (east side of avenue), between 44th and 45th Streets.
(Fee required-call: (212) 459-9003.) Open 24 hours.

• 641 W. 59th Street, between 11th and 12th Avenue. (Fee required-call: Central Parking System, (212) 265-1189.) Open 24 hours.

There is also a good amount of free on-street parking not far from there, between 11th and 12th Avenues on the streets mentioned in the above article. For overnight, though, I think I’d rather park in one of the paid parking lots.

Bob

I have a tour bus coming to NYC. The artist is staying at the Hudson Hotel. Where in this area can the driver park the 45ft tour bus?

That’s a good question, Sherri … and I don’t know the answer for sure. But I’m pretty sure you won’t have a problem parking a school bus in a charter bus area. I see others do it occasionally. I don’t know of any specific areas for school buses to park. It appears to me that school buses get away with “bending the rules” more easily than motorcoaches do. But to be safe, park in a charter bus area. Just leave room for me!

Hi, I’m a school bus driver from Vermont. I make occasional day trips to NYC. Do you know if the charter bus areas are also for school buses? Or are there other areas specifically for school buses? I need to park for a show at 16th and Broadway this Saturday. Any help would be appreciated.
