Posted by andy on Mon Jan 14 09:28:38 2019, in response to W.B.'s Bus Almanac for January 14th, posted by W.B. on Mon Jan 14 08:07:00 2019. In March 1969 Route #2 was eliminated. In its place a new Route #101A was created that operated on Third (NB) and Lexington (SB) Avenues south of 116th Street, and then on Lenox Avenue between 116th and 147th Streets in place of Route #2. The irony was that #2 was the NYCO replacement of the old #4 Lexington/Lenox route which was eliminated in 1960 when Third and Lexington became one way. Basically the #2 was returning to its “roots” (pun intended). #2A (Fifth/Madison & 7th Aves.) retained its 1966 number.In 1974 the alpha suffixes were removed from MABSTOA routes and the #2A reverted back to its original #2 moniker, although the route had never changed except for the Fifth-Madison couplet in 1966. #101A became #102. Both #2 and #102 still operate today with minimal changes from the 1970s, with the added “M” route prefix adapted in the 1970s. M2 is now a limited stop service except during owl periods, and M102’s south terminal is 6th Street, not City Hall. |
