Posted by Gotham Bus Co. on Mon Nov 2 20:50:22 2009, in response to Re: X61....Re: Photo 8051 on the Bx24 (One More Question), posted by rionOne on Mon Nov 2 20:41:29 2009. The X61 ran non-stop between Sedgwick/Fordham and Lower Manhattan.Initially, it used the Major Deegan Expressway, the 3rd and Willis Avenue Bridges, and the FDR Drive. In the late 1980's, the FDR was closed to buses between 23rd and 96th Streets, so it had to use the X90 (then X23) routing on York/1st/2nd Avenues (without stopping, of course). That added 30+ minutes to the running time each way, which turned off riders to the point that it wasn't worth keeping. |
