The victim was shot in the stomach on a Bx36 bus on East Tremont Avenue near White Plains Road around 2:30 p.m., police told the Daily News.
'It's really sad. ... I don't think I'll ever get back on a bus.'
Medics rushed the victim to Jacobi Medical Center, where he died, the paper said, adding that the victim's name was not immediately released.
The shooter was last seen fleeing south on White Plains Road and has not been caught, the Daily News added.
The shooter is estimated to be between 13 and 16 years old, the New York Post reported.
The shooter was wearing a white T-shirt and carrying a black handgun, law enforcement sources added to the paper.
The Post added that a bloodstain was still visible on the sidewalk after the shooting, and the area around the bus was cordoned off with yellow crime scene tape as cops investigated.
"It's really sad," one man told WCBS-TV. "You know, I haven't gotten on a bus in probably 30 years, but I don't think I'll ever get back on a bus."

I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
