History
It began on October 28, 1931 by Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit.

In September 1994, the route was extended north via Ocean Avenue to Flatbush Avenue and Empire Boulevard to provide direct connections with the B41, B47 and B48. This change also eliminated the need for the route to turnaround using Saint Paul's Place, which is a narrow one-way street that is often blocked due to congestion and extensive road repairs, which resulted in unreliable service. Northbound buses had turned north on St. Paul's Place and east on Parkside Avenue to the terminal on Ocean Avenue. The extension cost $140,000 annually, of which it was offset by $70,000 to $85,000 due to expected increases in ridership. This was funded as part of the 1994 Fare Deal/Ridership Growth Initiatives Program.

Overnight service was discontinued in 1995 due to budget crisis.
