Re: Andy's Almanac - March 23

Thanks for researching. Guess my memory is not exact, but Motor Coach Age is certainly the Bus Bible, to me and other transit geeks.

And I agree that M1 route is not a merger of the FACO and NYCO #1 routes but is definitely the successor to NYCO #1.

It's amazing that FACO and NYCO used duplicate route numbers on parallel avenues (Madison-Fifth, and Fifth-Sixth, as examples). Considering that the companies were commonly owned, it's even more amazing.

Today that would confuse everyone, but somehow the old-timers must have known the difference. I was always happy after MABSTOA eliminated the duplicate Manhattan route #s in 1974.
