Posted by trnsper on Mon Jul 23 21:29:19 2007, in response to Drogin Bus Co.; 55, 99, 99S, posted by Q101 E. MIDTOWN 2 AV on Mon Jul 23 18:43:31 2007. South Hudson Boulevard was a unique combination of an independent bus owners association (now Route 10) and a separate bus company. Boulevard Transit Lines dated back to the 1930s and was owned by the Drogin family until they went out of business in the 1990s. Boulevard Transit operated the 55 line between Staten Island (Port Richmond) and the Port Authority Terminal via South Hudson Boulevard and then the Holland Tunnel.Drogin was a large participant in the South Hudson County Boulevard Independent Bus Owners Assoiciation and eventually owned nearly all of the buses on its route, which became today's #10 Bayonne-Journal Sqaure. Drogin purchased the 99 and 99S from the pre-Coach USA Red and Tan Lines in the 1980s. They also started the 144 line and I believe the 122 line between Staten Island and Jersey City. It all ended suddenly in, I believe, the late 1990s or early in 2000-2001 when Drogin suddenly went out of business and Coach USA/Red and Tan took over. The rest has been a long decline under Coach USA. |
