Posted by W.B. on Tue Mar 12 16:30:38 2019, in response to Re: Tuscarora Almanac for March 12, posted by Joe on Tue Mar 12 10:16:57 2019. Actually, except for the 116th Street Crosstown route #20 which was identical to the Bureau of Franchises' assigned M-20 designation for that route, NYCO's designations differed wildly. According to the BoF, the Sixth Avenue route was to be M-23.And when bustituted, there was a little extension (little! ha!): The old trolley only terminated around Carmine Street, given that the streetcar route was built long before the IND was even a gleam in anyone's eyes. The 5 route's southern terminus was, for most of its history, Fulton Street (except in 1940-42 when it was extended to South Ferry to cover the elimination of Sixth and Ninth Avenue el services). The NYCO and FACO #5's weren't the only ones which invited confusion, even though each entity's routes ran on different avenues. FACO had 1 and 2 routes along Fifth - as did NYCO, along Madison Avenue. |
