The first NYCTA buses that drastically reduced seating were purchased around 1958. These were GMC's old looks that replaced the 2000 series that was purchased around 1948. These buses were the first to use passenger operated rear doors and had plastic seats. The rear used galley seating which reduced seats in favor of standees.Guess I only noticed it in the post-Fishbowl era because here in Queens the private lines had the old-fashioned row-by-row seating; only the city buses (MTA and MaBSTOA) had the sidewise (whatever you want to call it) seating which meant fewer actual seats than before. |
