Correct on the first two.Don't know the exact booth that issued the transfers at Broadway/Nassau. Might have been the one along the downtown IRT Lex near the exit to Fulton Street on the west side of Broadway. There was a sign outside the booth identifying as the location for issuing Brooklyn bus transfers. As an aside, imagine what a great tourist attraction was lost when the BB trolleys stopped running. A person could have taken a PCC over the Brooklyn Bridge, though downtown and Park Slope, go past Prospect Park, and then all the way down Coney Island Ave. to Coney Island itself. Would have been comparable to the SF cable cars but a lot longer and more interesting. But in the 1940s NYC did everything it could to kill the trolleys, and succeeded. |
