W.B.'s Bus Almanac for January 20th
Posted by W.B. on Sat Jan 20 09:25:30 2024 January 20, 1964 - The Book of First Runs and Route Service Changes The Bronx, New York Manhattan and Bronx Surface Transit Authority (Surface Transit Division) Service begins on this date on two spin-off routes, Bx-5A - Story Avenue and Bx-15B - Baychester Avenue (both of which are assigned out of Coliseum depot). The former will be renumbered Bx54, and the latter as the second Bx19, on July 1, 1974. In addition, the Bx-5 - Bruckner Boulevard line is re-routed via Pugsley Avenue, Story Avenue, Bronx River Avenue, Bruckner Boulevard and Westchester Avenue to Fox Street. (Source: "Manhattan and Bronx Surface Transit Operating Authority: The First Ten Years" by Bernard Linder. Motor Coach Age, May 1972.)

Was it Eastchester and Boston Rd? I lived area early 70's and I know the Bx6 terminated at Corsa Av in front of OTB and then turned around behind the Burger King.

Was it Eastchester and Boston Rd? It terminated at Eastchester and Boston Roads. I believe that it was across the street from the Bx-6 but after so many years I can't say for sure. Larry, RedbirdR33
