I recall that someone at BTN had inquired about the existence of an Express Bus Map.
I found 3 express bus maps online at the following site:

http://www.nyc.gov/html/dot/pdf/dotbusrsra_2.pdf

When the PDF file loads up, go to pages 5, 6, and 7. These will give express bus maps for The Bronx, Northern Queens, and Southern Queens, respectively. They are done in the same style as NYCT's borough bus maps.

I do think though that the MTA or DOT should make these public or produce a Express bus map.

I agree, TG.
I recall that when BTN was running, BK's opinion as to why the MTA didn't publish an Express Bus Map was that MTA wanted passengers to gravitate to subways and local buses. Perhaps that is indeed true, but in my opinion, if MTAB offers express bus services, they really should map them on the borough bus maps. (As you know, NYCT express services are all mapped on borough bus maps.)

That bus map WAS issued. It is very old, notice the Racetrack routes.
I think I have a copy, but I'm not organized. It was issued by DOT.

The paper copy of the map is dated January 1995.
