W.B.'s Bus Almanac for July 5th |
|
|
Posted by W.B. on Tue Jul 5 17:52:52 2022 July 5, 1939 - The Book of Route Extensions Manhattan, New York Fifth Avenue Coach Company Route 20 - 57th Street Crosstown's western terminus is extended from its once and future west end of 55th Street and 12th Avenue to the West 42nd Street Ferry. In addition, it appears at least some runs of the 15 - Jackson Heights line will also travel to this new terminus, if a news article of the time is of indication; its northern/eastern terminus remains the World's Fair in Queens for the duration thereof. The 20 will run to the Ferry (a.k.a. Pier 83) until December 6, 1942 when, in accordance with federal Office of Defense Transportation (ODT) restrictions, it is cut back to 55th and 12th. (Sources: "Two 5th Ave. Bus Routes Now Have New Terminals," The New York Times, July 5, 1939; "Fifth Avenue Coach Company," Motor Coach Age, July-August 1971.) |
