I got off at Broadway, as it was going westbound. I heard it was the second of two round trips, so I guess it went back to Quill after it arrived at West Street. |

When the bus would stop to receive passengers, many would ask, "Is this the M8?" Sometimes, the driver would reply with "That's the only bus that stops here." |

The B2 always had one in service. The driver was a grumpy man who was the only driver that would not let me use my S1 subway pass on the bus. I lived 1 block short of a free bus and subway pass |

They are also predicting flurries on Tuesday the 9th, showers on Wednesday the 10th, periods of sleet and freezing rain on Friday the 12th, rain on the night of Sunday the 14th (which would affect Monday morning), and rain the night of Monday the 15th through the morning of Tuesday the 16th.Of course, any of this can change as the respective days get closer. |

Don't know why the repeat offenders aren't using them and 5227's sign should be somewhat up to date. Provided 5227 has Manhattan signs that is. |

Posted by Transit Jeff on Tue Dec 2 23:26:07 2008, in response to PHOTOS: PM Vintage Rush Hour Action..., posted by rionOne on Tue Dec 2 17:35:35 2008. Great photos Trevor. I agree that real destination signs would have looked better and been more practical. Just curious, does anybody realize that it's a historic vehicle? I'll bet most passengers think it's just a bus. This probably goes for the people on the street too. I doubt many heads turn.Who would have thought, back when that GM fishbowl was new, that General Motors would be crawling on their knees to Washington for a hand-out to stay in business! I don't feel sorry for them one bit. They helped to make our society dependent on the automobile and oil, in most places. Perhaps New York City is one rare exception to that. However, even New York City has far too many automobiles. If GM wants the money, they should be forced to promote mass transit, build buses, trackless trolleys, light rail cars and subway cars. For example,why should thousands of NYC and PATH subway cars be built by foreign controlled companies? GM should also be forced to build plug-in electric hybrid automobiles. In my opinion, they have held back that technology for years, not furthered its advancement. |
