Posted by W.B. on Sun Mar 1 20:27:33 2026, in response to Tuscarora Almanac for March 1 and Transit Trivia, posted by irtredbirdr33 on Sun Mar 1 11:58:13 2026. I remember reading in a circa 1963 bus map put out by Hagstrom (as once sold on eBay) that claimed that the M-105 was somehow resumed under MaBSTOA, as it was listed amongst the routes of their Surface Transit division. Who wonders what the map preparers were smoking. If it were resumed, then it would have been discontinued once the M-103 was extended to 73d and Broadway in September 1963.But it wasn't just the M-105 that was ixnayed. As noted in the Bus Almanac, the FACO Division's Routes #1 and 19 and NYCO Division's 22 - Pitt and Ridge Streets were also discontinued due to that strike. (Today's M1, on southbound routes, running all along Fifth Avenue since the 2010 service cutbacks, is ironic for that very reason - in rerouting its path along Fifth to mimic the M2, they ended up re-creating much of the FACCo #1's path from 135th to 8th Streets, irrespective of this M1 being inherited from NYCO.) |
