If memory serves, 200 of the Grummans had wheelchair lifts, and yes, they were front door units. All of NYCT's RTS buses had wheelchair lifts, and they were all rear door units. NYCT's early experience with the front door lifts (on the Grummans) turned the agency off of front door lifts for many years. The front door lifts on the Grummans took a pounding from the roads and from accidents in the area of the front door.
