MABSTOA took over a fleet that ranged from fair (Fifth Ave. Coach) to terrible (Surface Transit Bronx garages). By 1967 it was one of the most modern bus fleets anywhere in the U.S. The new looks in storage were some high-mileage 5301s that were originally FACO buses when new. After 1964 most of that fleet ended up in The Bronx working routes out of Kingsbrige Depot. |
