Believe that the short turn M101 between 23rd and 125th Streets was handled with FACL drivers most likely operating out of 100th St. The M101 Third-Lex-Amst between City Hall and Fort George was a Surface Transit drivers route that was garaged at Amsterdam and possibly 2nd Ave.-126 before that depot became NYCTA Manhattan Division. Maybe some drivers were relieved at 23rd and Third Ave., but those were most likely one Surface driver relieving another. The short turn buses were FACL drivers, a compromise done in order to end the wildcat walkout in June 1960. The buses were FACL 4506/4507 GMs that were re-lettered for Surface Transit, no doubt not to confuse the public. |
