Guess what? I may have been wrong about it not being on the 1981 map. But let us now review everything.

1968 - MTA takes over subways

1969 - MTA produces their first bus maps. No privates on Brooklyn and if I remember correctly the Queens map only showed NYCT routes in Flushing. Southeast Queens was still private at that time.

1974 - Still no privates on Brooklyn map.

1981 - B100 and Q35 appear on Brooklyn map for first time. Who stopped production of that map to make corrections? Me, because I was in charge of Planning. So I was probably the one who added the B100 and Q35. (There was no B103 back then which didn't appear until the MTA took over the privates, the same time when the former Command privates were added around 2004.) So excuse me for forgetting all the 96 corrections I made to that 1981 bus map after 34 years. I don't have a photographic memory.

So to summarize, MTA takes over subways in 1968. First express formerly private routes and B103 appear 35 years later.
