Your information on the B64 would place the issue of this Red Book at approximately Jan. 1950 (between 5/49 and 2/50). Interesting how they experimented with bus routes then and changed it again when it didn't work out. They don't do that anymore.Now I remember hearing the B73 as the Norton's Point Shuttle. After it was combined with the B36, it was separated again and was known as the B36 S (or Shuttle) the second time around. Do you know the route of the Ulmer Park Shuttle? Never heard of that one. Or the B78 you mentioned either. 79, 80 and 81 are still mysteries. I guess when Smith and Court were made into one-way pairs and the B66 discontinued, the southern portion became the B77 S (or Shuttle). For those interested, the B72 was Junction Blvd. The B78 was re-used in 1966 along Ralph Avenue, and the B80 and B81 were World's Fair Routes in 1964 and 1965. B84 was the eastern portion of the B6. The B85 was the Army Base Shuttle. |
