Re: PABT may get $10 Billion overhaul

Through the 1950's Greyhound had to remain in its two off-street terminals, 34th Street (Penn Station) and 50th Street. When we would ride from NY to Winsted, the bus would start at 34th Street, then pick up more passengers at West 50th Street. This Pittsfield local was joint service with Vermont Transit. We often drew a driver off the extra board, and Dad would have to direct him on some of the highway turns and visiting the bus ticket office in Danbury.

I can date the move into PABT because of a discussion I had with a cook on Staten Island! I don't know why the spots on the lower floor became available.

On the other hand, the Berkshire Connector of the Thruway opened in 1959, and NY-Pittsfield direct service used NJ 17 and the Thruway, leaving only one daily local via Winsted.
