Given New York Railways' 1919 relinquishing of what in its last years up to 1979 was the M12, to the City's Department of Plant and Structures, how did New York City Omnibus (which converted NYR's remaining streetcar lines to bus routes in 1935-36) acquire the franchise - via Green Bus Lines or something?Also, contrary to what was suggested in the layout of the 1974 Manhattan bus guide, the M12 never traveled over the Williamsburg Bridge to Brooklyn side-by-side with NYCTA's B39 route - nor did any other MaBSTOA route venture into Brooklyn, as it had into Queens (via their QM15/M32/Q32 and QM16/Q89 routes) and of course their Bronx routes. Though M12's demise was just before SoHo became a "happening" neighborhood, its number was thus available for today's totally unrelated 11th and 12th Avenues line now running. |

I believe that was just a printing error. Larry, RedbirdR33 |

Sometimes all these things come into play. But yeah, printers have made lulus in certain things over the years.Just like it would have been mathematically possible for a Route 2, after the 1966 one-way conversions of Fifth and Madison Avenues, to travel up Lenox from 116th to 147th, then turn west on 147th and north on Seventh up to 168th (and conversely, SB buses from Seventh turning east on 146th and then south on Lenox to 116th) - but such a route never actually operated and one 2 - the ex-FACCo route - had to be rebranded "2A" while ex-NYCO 2's north end remained 147th and Lenox. |

Actually, I saw a full printout on an eBay auction. What you saw in that stitch-and-paste scan was a scanning error. The tip end did show the B39 indicators, where they went to and to which B## routes they transferred. As they would in 1976. |
