Saw Nova artic #5874 @ Casey Stengel with "Training Bus" on the front. I guess this bus is borrowed from 100th?

The name change for the depot became official in late March. There are buses now with the new sticker.

no..he said it wrong.

it has been renamed in honor of brave men who fought to keep YOUR family safe...some still alive today..some have given their lives.

you might not like it..but you have to RESPECT IT.

True, but as they say, old habits die hard.

For instance, the Triborough Bridge.

No, it's quite incorrect. Personal preferences are what they are, but like Fifth Ave, Westside, 146th St and Flushing being former depots names... The 100th St depot name has joined those ranks.

I get that old habits die hard but the renaming to The Tuskeegee Airmen depot deserves full respect.

But what did RFK do for the city? I can understand naming things after presidents: Lincoln tunnel, Washington Bridge, JFK airport, but RFK?

1 term to me doesn't deserve such an honor. At least Ed Koch deserves a recognition, even though I still refer to it as the Queensboro Bridge.

Sorry but I do not plan on calling it TAD anytime soon. its always going to be 100th street.

The new TAD sticker look weird on buses. The 100th street logo is !!WAY!! Better than the TAD logo.

You don't know weird till you see SC's logos on an almost daily basis like I do. A US flag in the back with shitty looking buildings? That depot could use a new logo.

That's certainly your right, but I was responding to you replay to the other fella which suggests that 100th St is still the official depot name.

Personally, I didn't see anything special about the old depot logo, but again (regardless of the official name vs. former name), I recognize that your right to call the Tuskeegee Airmen Depot by whatever name that suits your preference.

Doesn't Queensboro have enough names as it already, I mean it is 59 St Br, Queensboro Br, and now Ed Koch - Queensboro Br. Make up their mind...

Ed Koch planted the seeds to the resurgence of NYC, very popular, and NYC's first gay mayor. Why not name a bridge after him LOL.

Queensboro br suits it well and that's what I always refer to it as. 59th st just tells ppl where it goes to. That'd be almost like naming the Manhattan br the Canal St Br because that's where it is.
