Posted by W.B. on Fri Jan 20 22:11:23 2017, in response to Re: Borough Prefix, posted by BrooklynBus on Fri Sep 5 22:46:50 2014. The "QM15" designation for the Jackson Heights - Fifth/Madison Avenues line would have been in effect from 1972 to the 1974 route numbering changes, and only on those buses with rollsigns made in '72 with Standard Medium a.k.a. Akzidenz Grotesk Bold in upper and lower case - and which would have coincided with the delivery of the first GM T6H-5309 (regular passenger) and -5310 (express) buses. Both NYCTA's First/Second Avenues line and MABSTOA's 23rd Street crosstown were designated M15 in that same 2-year period prior to the latter's being renamed M26, and QM15 rebranded M32, in 1974.I presume the route 16 out of Elmhurst, between 1972 and 1974, would have been designated Q16 before being renamed Q89? |
