Excellent choice of pictures, and I remembered actually going out of my way to ride and/or photograph them in regular service, including on the #M100 Broadway-Kingsbridge route operating the Washington Heights neighborhood where I lived back then.-William A.

What did PACE do about it ?Sued Grumman for $9.5 million (settled for $1.6 million) and replaced the buses at age ten with Orion Is. Some of the Grummans did manage to hold on until as late as 1993.

And I heard from a fellow transit fan, and DC area native who rode 4000. He was curious but didn't know the story for years, and connected the dots years later with message board posts.WMATA painted 4000 in their color scheme, but they retained NYCTA's #4000. The bus also retained NYCTA's perimeter style seating. |
