Received this from a friend when I sent a copy of this image.

The Surface Transportation Corp. bus is (I think) on East 180th Street after the blizzard of December 26, 1947. The wire from the Z-180th Street Crosstown trolley was unused after October, 1947 when the Bx36 bus began running.

I recall that the remaining Bronx trolleys resumed operation the day after the blizzard, but the buses didn't return until almost a week later!

No wonder the Surface Transportation GMC looks brand new. It was. Quite a contrast to few years later, when STS buses (GMCs and Macks) looked like junk early on because of the firm's notoriously poor maintenance.

Does anyone remember when STS buses were being painted in the FACCO green paint scheme and between the front and rear doors, no two doors were the same color.
