Bus Strike Anniversary - March 1, 1962 |
|
Posted by Andy on Sun Mar 1 19:12:46 2015 On this date, the Transport Workers Union (TWU) began a work stoppage against Fifth Avenue Coach Lines and Surface Transit, eliminating all Bronx bus service and about 95% of Manhattan's service. After 23 days it was ended, when NY City seized the company's buses and garages and began operating the buses under a new TA subsidiary, MABSTOA. |
