Posted by BrooklynBus on Sat Mar 21 19:33:56 2015, in response to Re: Former Brooklyn Bus Routes, posted by Spider-Pig on Sat Mar 21 18:07:01 2015. I also omitted much info. I tried to concentrate on stuff that related to route numbering since that was the original question.Most of all I wanted to makes the point that numbers have been reused more than once, just like the bus and subway fleet. I wasn't sure if the original poster knew that. There still are some numbers that I am not sure of. Also, while the trolleys didn't show any route numbers until the PCC cars, guide books did have numbers for them which duplicated bus numbers starting from one. Later they were renumbered to follow after where te bus numbers wore off. That's why the B22 (Q24) was the lowest numbered bus number that was previously a trolley. For example the Church Avenue trolley was previously routes 8 and 13. One started at First Ave and the other at Cortelyou and McDonald, it was later cutback to Church and both were called the B35. Also forgot to mention the B50 was the McDonald Avenue trolley. Stiil wonder about numbers 28 (local not express), 76, and 79. There also must have been a previous 51. The Smith-Coney Island trolley also must have had a number but I don't know what it was. Maybe they reused 66 for that or it could have been 76. That would have made sense. |
