Posted by W.B. on Sun Jun 28 00:25:29 2020, in response to June 27, 2010, service cuts., posted by Chicago44 on Sat Jun 27 20:10:12 2020. Though this tidbit belongs in the BusChat section, these 2010 cuts also made the M1 bus, on its southbound route path, a carbon copy of the old FACO Division Route 1 between 135th and 8th Streets. This is notable because: a) the M1 as we know it today was 100% derived from the old NYCO Fourth and Madison Avenues route that in turn was descended from the city's first streetcar route which was inaugurated way back in 1832, and b) from 1966 until the cutbacks, the M1's transitioned to Madison from 39th Street and Park Avenue, and from Fifth Avenue at 40th Street to Park, its SB path simply shifted one block west back then. After the changes, M1's NB transition point to Madison was shifted to 25th and Park Avenue South. No doubt what was descended from Fifth Avenue Coach Lines didn't speak up to object to this rerouting, given how in 1962 they claimed "perpetual franchise" on their #1 route. |
