Me: "Didn't the bus service that exists today today begin long after when the parkways were built?"

You: Yes, that was excactly my point

You: So much for "Robert Moses not wanting buses on 'his' parkways".....And look at this......these buses connected to the RAILROAD station at Freeport to bring people FROM THE RAILROAD to Jones Beach Park..

So if the buses from the Railroad did not start when the Parkways were first built but years later, why do you disagree that Moses did not want buses on the Parkways to the beach? Buses might have been not so popular in the 20s and many of them were smaller, more like 20 passenger jitneys, but they were still called buses and Moses didn't like them because the lower economic class used them. It wasn't only Blacks he disliked. If you were white and had little money, you were also on his shit list.
