W.B.'s Bus Almanac for September 1st

Posted by W.B. on Tue Sep 1 10:18:26 2026


September 1, 1954 - The Book of Last Runs

Brooklyn, New York
New York City Transit Authority
BMT Surface Division

Nearly three months after the one-way conversions of Smith and Court Streets, service is discontinued on Route B-66 - Court Street. It is hereby replaced with the B-75 - Smith Street route. In addition, the B-59 - Grand Street line is extended from Maspeth Depot to 72nd Place, and B-62 - Graham Avenue is cut back to Box Street.

Where did the B62 go before it was cut back to Box St.?

That would have been in that Motor Coach Age article, wouldn't it?

I don't have hardcopy issues of Motor Coach Age, but thanks to your reply, I found an archive site here:

I have bookmarked all of the above. I may craft future Almanac entries from those resources.
