M15 Bus

The best thing about the M15 local bus. it arrives at the bus stop before I even get a chance to check it on the MTA Bus Time website.
Going downtown it runs along 2^nd Avenue and then turns east on Houston Street and continues south on Allen Street, right on Madison Street and continues south again on St. James, Pearl and finally on Water Street all the way to South Ferry.
It will go past the outskirts of Chinatown. More towards the LES. It’s the best bus near Chinatown.
The other bus that goes through the main avenue (Bowery) in Chinatown is terrible so I rather take the M15 but the M15 can be a bit too far in the east side of Manhattan sometimes. But it’s the most reliable bus. Unfortunately there is no crosstown buses in Chinatown.
