It was limited to Manhattan and Bronx routes so those affected in Queens also ran in those boroughs.15 = M32 Fifth Avenue-Jackson heights 16 = Q89 Elmhurst Crosstown TB = M35 Manhattan-Astoria TB = Bx21 Bronx-Astoria Check The New York Times "2 Boroughs' Buses Get New Numbers" June 20, 1974, for othe routes. |

In the immediate period before the renumbering, what became M32 had been QM15, and Q89 was QM16. Made sense for the former but not the latter, on the face of it. |

In the immediate period before the renumbering, what became M32 had been QM15, and Q89 was QM16.I know that you posted views of mylar rollsigns with those route designations (and it was good to see them) but they were rarely, if ever, on the buses. I know that I never saw one and I lived in Jackson Heights at the time. |
