Is that part of the Jackie Gleason Depot? Based on real estate prices I doubt that its Manhattan.

Yes. Gleason was formerly a home for streetcars.

Buses with turnstiles on them? Interesting.

I drove Huntington Coach buses in the early 70's with turnstiles. The fare was 25 cents & you had to have a quarter.

There are provisions in the current TWU contract which specify seniority and pick rights for surface turnstile maintainers who were transferred to the subway. see page 176

I wonder if there is anyone still working to whom these rules apply.
