Posted by Larry,RedbirdR33 on Sun May 15 21:39:34 2011, in response to Bus Map History: 1969 Manhattan Bus Map - (Full scaned & PDF), posted by Gold_12th on Sun May 15 19:32:10 2011. Mr. Moreira: Although MaBSTOA took over the former Surface Transit and Fifth Avenue Coach routes in 1962 they made little progress in producing a unified and comprehensive route system. That is why there are so many duplicate route numbers on this map. There a Rt 6 for the Broadway-6 Av-7 Av Line (an old NYCO route) and a Rt 6 for the 72 Street Crosstown.(an old FACO route.)Also the only routes which used to carry boro prefixes where those of the NYCTA and Surface Transit as they had routes in more than one borough. The MTA took over the NYCTA and its subsidiary, MaBSTOA in 1968 and the 1969 maps (there was a Bklyn/Staten Is Map as well) were an attempt to at least identify the routes and where they operated. It wasn't until 1974 that the MTA after much re-numbering and route changes was able to issue the first of the current series of bus maps for each borough. Larry, RedbirdR33 |
