There was no "imminent demise" of the 6th Ave el on Sept 10th, 1932, when Canal St opened. The el didn't close until 12/04/38, some 6 years later. I believe that one of the reasons that Canal Street-Holland Tunnel was an express station was to handle bus traffic from NJ. Bear in mind that the Lincoln Tunnel didn't open until 11/13/37 and the Port Authority Bus Terminal wasn't opened until 1950. So, unless you used the old GWB terminal at 168th/B'way, the only other bus routes to NYC would have been via the Holland Tunnel. Right? |
