What's the square-ish addition on the roof? As I recall, the original new-look buses of the early '60s had plain roofs with no add-ons at all.

The roof addition housed 2-way radio equipment which was installed on all TA and MABSTOA buses beginning in the late 1960s, as I recall.The old BX4 Bainbridge-Jerome Aves. route where this bus was photographed is today the BX34, but the route is basically unchanged. |

LILCO (now PSEG) serves the Rockaways. The Q21A ran infrequently, hence photos are rare. Route was discontinued in 1990, due to low ridership. |

The first such Green Buses I remember from around 1963-64 were numbered in the 400s. Bus #425 was one I recall. Our junior high school, Russell Sage, always had an old Green bus as a special school bus at three o'clock, from Forest Hills to Rego Park. One day we had a new-look bus which the driver claimed he took while no one was watching. Here's the information about the bus and location in the photo, from nycsubway.org. Note that the route is called "Q21" in the description: Green Bus #534 |

Yes the transformer box on the pole is a big giveaway and the configuration of the wires and horizontal wood bracing on the top of the poles are different from ConEd |

Ashford St and New Lots Ave. It was a sightseer enroute to Rockaway using mostly local streets until it got o the Broad Channel Bridge. Now the B-6 and B-84 start there and Ashford St and Cleveland St have had their directions of travel switched. |

I would take the Q21A as opposed to the Q22 whenever I could because it was a lot faster than the Q22.The Q21A would still be here today if the Green Bus Lines ran it on a consistent schedule. Look at the Q52-it only covers a portion of the old Q21A but has plenty of ridership. |

Ironically, my grandmother used to take the B6 to work (she was a nursery school teacher). This is back in the 60s and early 70s, long before the B6 came to Newlots station. I don't know what bus(es) she had to take to get to the B6, or if she walked all the way down. Nowadays, she would have a one-seat ride. It's all moot, as the nursery school closed in 1971, and she died in 1976. |
