Posted by fishbowls4ever on Wed Oct 11 11:44:36 2017 In the 81 movie Nighthawks with Stallone a bad guy drives a bus into the ocean. It looked like a nycta bus, anyone know fleet number? Or if it was a nyc bus |

They stopped buying 35s in the 1950s with the Old Looks. PS/TNJ/NJBO never had shorter buses again until some of the 1976 Flx New Looks were re-acquired from fallen companies, and when they got the 35-foot Fish from Mercer Metro when they took over as NJT-Mercer. (A number of those ex-Mercer units went to Oradell and ran the lower-use B-routes.) |
