When was the first M-102 Discontinued? |
|
|
Posted by IRTRedbirdR33 on Sun Dec 4 10:25:55 2016 The 125th Street streetcar line was converted to bus service on June 29, 1947. The bus ran over the same route as the trolleys between 3rd Avenue and the Hudson River and was known as the M-102. As 125th Street was already well served by the Bx-29 Willis Avenue bus the M-102 basically consisted of short turns and was eventually discontinued. The M-102 designation was revived in 1974 as a replacement for the M-101 A. Does anyone know when the first M-102 was discontinued? Thanks, Larry, RedbirdR33 |

According to the Motor Coach Age article on Surface Transportation System, the M-102 ended on July 1, 1947, two days after it started. Not that surprising considering that all or part of its route was duplicated by the Bx-29, M-100 and M-101. |

Would you please tell me what issue of Motor Coach Age that was. I would like to obtain a copy. Larry, RedbirdR33 |
