These daredevils are riding a new wave.

Adrenaline junkies are now surfing on Big Apple buses that speed down major thoroughfares – a new twist on the deadly transit trend of surfing subway cars.

A brave rooftop driver recorded his illegal journey on an M15 articulated bus. The street scene blurred by as the steel giant raced down Second Avenue in Manhattan's Murray Hill neighborhood, video footage shared on Instagram this week showed.

Another dizzying clip Posted on X in February showed a youth wearing a hoodie crouching on the roof of another articulated bus – before jumping into another part of the vehicle and ducking under a power cable.

“If there's something ridiculous, foolhardy and dangerous, teenagers are going to figure out how to do it,” straphanger Pamelda Candusso Hirsch, 71, complained to The Post.

“You could ruin so many lives forever.”

Mustapha Sawaneh, who has been driving MTA buses around the city for six years, warned the brazen surfers who take their stunts from the city's subway to the streets of more “unpredictable” and dangerous terrain.

“If a taxi cuts in front of you, you have to apply the brakes. If someone steps on the street, you have to move out of the way of the bus,” said Sawaneh, 26.
