Posted by W.B. on Sat Jun 24 16:03:52 2017, in response to Re: Bus Map History: 1969 Manhattan Bus Map - (Full scaned & PDF), posted by Gold_12th on Sun May 15 21:23:07 2011. In 1972-73, MTA affixed borough prefices to all routes in Manhattan, not just the TA and ex-Surface Transit routes. This exposed route duplication, not just of routes within the city, but also some routes of PBL's - to say nothing of some route triplications. F'rinstance:- M1 - Fifth and Madison via 135th Street (MaBSTOA) / Madison and Chambers Streets Crosstown (TA) - M3 - Fifth, Madison and Convent or St. Nicholas Avenues (MaBSTOA) / 49th-50th Streets Crosstown (TA) - M6 - Broadway, Seventh and Sixth Avenues (MaBSTOA, ex NYCO) / 72nd Street Crosstown (MaBSTOA, ex FACCo) - M7 - Broadway, Columbus and Lenox Avenues (MaBSTOA) / 65th Street Crosstown (TA) / Wall Street-110th Street Express (Avenue B & East Broadway; remained in operation even after TA/MaBSTOA route renumberings in 1974, and up to Avenue B & East Broadway's 1980 demise after which it was folded into X23) - M11 - Columbus, Ninth and Amsterdam Avenues (MaBSTOA) / York Avenue (TA) - M15 - First and Second Avenues (TA) / 23rd Street Crosstown (MaBSTOA, ex NYCO) - QM15 - Fifth and Madison Avenues/Jackson Heights (MaBSTOA, ex FACCo) / Lindenwood/Midtown Express (Green Bus Lines) - QM16 - Elmhurst Crosstown (MaBSTOA, ex FACCo) / Neponsit/Midtown Express (Green Bus Lines) NOTE: 16 in and of itself was duplicative of MaBSTOA's (ex NYCO) (M)16 - 34th Street Crosstown - M20 - 116th Street Crosstown (MaBSTOA, ex NYCO) / 57th Street Crosstown (MaBSTOA, ex FACCo) That was just in Manhattan, folks. |
