Posted by randyo on Wed Oct 5 18:26:35 2016, in response to Re: Tuscarora Almanac - September 30, October 1-2, 1966 - The Book of Last Runs, posted by Elkeeper on Wed Oct 5 15:00:32 2016. I lived a few blocks away from the terminal and I remember there was a special exit gate at the S/E of the 168 St mezzanine that was opened in the PM rush so that passengers exiting from the A or BB trains could run right upstairs to the bus terminal. I seem to recall that the route from the bus terminal to the GWB was a bit convoluted with buses going up Audubon Av to 173 St, across 173 St to St Nicholas Av and via St Nicholas to 178 St and left to the bridge. The route was significantly changed in the mid 1950s when a student at Incarnation school which was at 175 St and St Nicholas was playing roller hockey in the play street and inadvertently rolled into St Nicholas Av and was crushed to death under a Jersey bus. After that, all the Jersey buses were routed so that they went up Bway from the terminal to the bridge even though the FACCO rte 3 continued to use St Nicholas. |
