I wonder if what you mentioned had to coincide with the route renumberings in the 90s(?). HOWEVER, the routing of the S55/56's predecessor, the R115, was completely different, as well as its' terminal (because in all technicality, it only had one terminal because it was a loop bus).1964 Staten Island bus map. Courtesy to Hank Eisenstein. The R115's routing started at Johnson Terrace and Seguine Avenue. A bus would either stay on Seguine Avenue (following the S56's pattern) or turn onto Hylan Boulevard (following the S55's pattern). Some differences in today's S55/56 and the R115 was that the bus did not travel along Luten Avenue, which is the street Tottenville High School is located on (the school did not exist at this location until the 1970s). The bus also did not travel along the entire length of Annadale Road, which is what today's S55 does. Last but not least (excluding other minor cosmetic differences in routing), the R115 did not serve Arthir Kill Road/Richmond Avenue or the mall, the latter being completed in the 1970s. |
