After Broadway became one-way southbound between Herald Square and Canal Street on Nov. 10, 1963, buses that had previously gone southbound along Fourth Avenue and Lafayette Street were rerouted to Broadway. This would have included ex-NYCO #1. (I presume that late '63 traffic pattern shift was what ended the ex-FACCO "alternate" route from Fifth to 10th Street, Fourth, and Wanamaker Place.) But by then, ex-FACCO #2 and #3's southern terminus had been settled (on that same day!) at 8th Street and 4th Avenue anyway. (So the post-1966 M2 would have been a FACCO-NYCO hybrid after all, unlike the ex-MACCO/NYCO #1 which was the only route of that entity to travel, if only one way, along Fifth Avenue after '66?)

B.T.W., when was the Park Avenue South-to-Madison Avenue transition northbound shifted from 23rd to 25th? (And I seem to recall MACCO/NYCO #1, before its northbound route transitioning from Park to Madison at 39th, doing so at 42nd - when was that switched [and the southbound transitioning, to 40th]?)
