Posted by Joe V on Fri Jun 29 20:43:07 2012, in response to Re: Good News for N21/N23/N27 Riders of NICE, posted by Jimbo Kalin on Fri Jun 29 12:14:40 2012. The 102 was a 35 footer.The 106 came in the late 1960's, replaced an Old Look Suburban 104 or the GM Torpedo 103. 106 was actually a flat floor transit with no exit door, had standee windows, but forward facing seats nonetheless. They had no AC, just window sill blowers, yet never seemed miserable on a summer day. I remember one bus driver looked like Ralph Kramden. He may have been the South Shore guy. Another guy was short, chubby, jolly, and had a crewcut. The resaon I though they deadheaded across is that I peeked thru the ticket office of the North Ferry, saw a list of commercial customers, and Sunrise Coach was on the list. I miss those unique buses. They had personality and lasted a long time. They have been gone 30 years. Wish I could find a picture. I even saw the 101 or 102 sub for a LIRR Road'n'Rail when it broke down in Greenport. I don't know who drove it to Babylon. |
