Re: W.B.'s Bus Almanac for January 14th

Thanks for posting. Manhattan's bus routes have had a long and sometimes tortured history. The FACO and NYCO bus routes on Fifth and Madison Avenues, respectively, carried duplicate route numbers. The fare was higher on the FACO routes until 1956, when NYCO routes began charging 15 cents. And the FACO #2 used double deck buses till about 1951, when GMC TDH4509's identical to the ones on Madison Avenue made their debut, still charging a higher fare (12 cents vs. 10 cents).
