"In any event, I am still not convinced that you are correct, because I am certain that the 72nd-57th Street crosstown (later M30) was called the 6X or 6-X at some point (at least on maps). There may have been other X-suffixed crosstown routes in the pre-express bus era."

The bus route you describe, the #6, run by the Fifth Avenue Coach Company (later changed to Fifth Avenue Coach Lines in 1956) and MaBSTOA starting in March 1962, became M30 in the July 1, 1974, renumbering of Manhattan and Bronx routes. I've never seen any reference to it with an X in FACCO or NYCTA maps or any publications.
