M-13 Journal Building Bus Line |

Posted by IRTRedbirdR33 on Tue Jul 12 11:32:16 2016 While doing some research for the Almanac I came across the following item that might be of interest to bus historians. The M-13 Journal Building Omnibus Line began running sometime in 1954. The route was from William Street via New Chambers Street, Pike Street, Pike Slip, and South Street to the Journal Building at Market Slip and Catherine Street. Returning buses ran via South Street, James Slip and New Chamber Street to William Street. Over the years there was some route adjustments. Sometime after 1960 it was re-numbered to M-15 S. It was discontinued on May13, 1966. It was always operated by the New York City Transit Authority and was not a successor to a streetcar route. Service resumed on February 15, 1970 and was permanently discontinued on April 1, 1971. The Journal Building referred to was the headquarters for the New York Journal newspaper, later known as the Journal-American. The route appears on the Hagstom Bus Maps of the early 1960’s. The route was suspended from 1966 to 1970 and so does not appear on the 1969 MTA Manhattan Bus Map. (Thanks to Mr. Bernard Linder for his research on this. The map information is mine.)
