In 1977 shortly after I went into the RT schedule office, I, along with 2 TMAs was assigned to a project to look into coordinating subway and bus schedules in the outer boroughs especially during late night hours. At that time surface scheduling for both TA and OA was at the MABSTOA 132 St depot. Most of the schedules were hand written and then reproduced for distribution to the road and frankly did look as if they were jotted down by bus operators during their trips. Many of the schedules did not even have actual times for the buses at timepoints along the route but were more like running time charts which showed the departure time from the terminal and the running times to various points along the route to the opposite terminal. Although I didn’t see any work programs at the time, I can only imagine what they must have looked like.
