Posted by Joe on Tue May 23 18:02:57 2017, in response to GW Bridge buses in early years, posted by Joe on Sat May 20 18:55:54 2017. The Brooklyn Daily Eagle of October 23, 1931, ran a lengthy article on page 23, linked below, on the opening of the bridge. The bus service is explained with the five-cent fare, but the writer notes also that the bus toll is an even dollar, requiring 20 passengers for the bus company to break even.Link --- On October 25, 1931, page 80, the New York Times ran several articles and a map about the development of Bergen County. The article about bus service says that passengers will be brought to the 181st Street subway station "at Broadway," although the Interborough station is another block east at St. Nicholas Avenue. The Eighth Avenue subway opened the following year, September 10, 1932. Link --- The map on the same page shows railroads well. NJ State Highway 4 is not complete west of Grand Avenue and the Erie's Northern Branch. |
