In the 1950's, some school bus systems using Old Look GM transits, without center doors, all forward facing seats, yellow, flashers, etc. I remember seeing a few in the early 1960's in Hewlett station bus yard at the time as Brothers Bus Company.The reason was not so much safety, but a longer-lived vehicle with a slower depreciation schedule. Green Bus Lines was in the school bus business. In the 1960's a bunch of Fishbowls would surround JHS210 in Ozone Park, and probably otehr schools. The route signs were for most every route in southern Queens, and the destination sign was "School Bus". Brings back memories of this in 1970, which I think was a chartered Fishbowl transit, though I can't confirm that now. After that school type buses were banned from overnight and interstate trips, as that would have yield worse results. Hillel |
