I'm trying to find out the actual addresses of the S92 bus stops in Southampton. The schedule doesn't list any cross streets. I'm mainly interested in the stop in the village, but I'm also wondering where the Hayground stop is.

Here's the schedule:

I've tried a few other forums and haven't gotten the answer yet, and I've tried calling SCT but the phone is always busy.

I haven't been to Southampton in four years, but it appears that the S92 running towards East Hampton goes south on Main Street and makes a left turn (east) onto Hampton Road. Google Street View (lacking a date) seems to show a bus stop immediately after the bus turns left. Please be aware that the bus then leaves Hampton Road for a brief detour via Southampton Hospital. When I visited the hospital often ten years ago, I was please to see that it had a bus stop for the very useful S92.

Towards Riverhead, I think I see a bus stop also at the corner of Hampton Road and Main Street.

I'm glad you used the word Village, because the Town of Southampton is much larger than the village. The Town Hall happens to be in the Village, to make things confusing.

The Google maps are about a few years old I believe, I know when I look up my address on Google Maps it shows my old neighbors vehicles. And the old neighbors moved out about 4 or so years ago.

Now it finally makes sense. For some reason, I didn't realize that was Hampton Road. On the schedule it does look like the stop is at the corner of Hampton and Main. That seems to be where the transfer point is with the 8A. It turns out that's only a block away from where I'm going.

Since it goes past the hospital, I assume there is a stop there, yet it's not listed on the schedule. I don't understand how people are supposed to know that, since it's not on the schedule. I've been looking at other routes too, and a lot of the seem to be incomplete like that in some manner.

As far as the town vs village, it really irks me when people can't understand the difference between a village or hamlet and the town. And that's basically the case with all the east end towns.

At one time, many streetcar or bus lines in our country operated with no signs at the stops. The vehicle would stop at each intersection, or wherever the telegraph pole had a painted white stripe. Bus route numbers at bus stops came to New York City about 1965. At least, the county bus system in Suffolk posts signs giving the route number and the destination. Otherwise, strangers might not know which side of the street to stand on.

My frequent visits to Southampton Hospital were by car. I knew the S92 was there because I saw the bus stop signs.

Neither Suffolk nor Nassau maps indicated every stop on every line. In the U.S., that sort of map is rare. I have seen European transit maps showing every bus stop of a route. The New York MTA does indicate the Limited bus stops on its borough maps. See the B44 Limited on this Brooklyn map, for example.
