Posted by W.B. on Sat Jun 24 17:20:10 2017, in response to Re: Bus Map History: 1969 Manhattan Bus Map - (Full scaned & PDF), posted by northshore on Sat Jun 24 16:19:26 2017. Comparing the 1974 bus map to the 1969, I noticed that by 1974 M107 (which was started up on Sept. 10, 1962 on an initial "six-month trial basis" from 106th and First to 110th and Riverside Drive, traveling across 106th, then through Fifth and then 110th, before its western terminus was truncated to Fifth by the late '60's) had been discontinued and part of its route incorporated into another branch of/alternate terminus (other than 96th and First) for the M19. And by 1976 the M34 and M35 routes (Manhattan-originated branches of the old "TB" route that had been so renumbered in 1974) were incorporated into one single M35 route.The "QM16" designation for the Elmhurst route, I discovered via an eBay seller who put up an entire side sign made in 1972-73. Apparently MTA were determined to avoid a second "Q16" (which was and is the TA's Fort Totten route). That, plus QM16 (later Q89) being: a) MaBSTOA, and b) assigned, as was QM15 (later M32, now Q32), out of 54th Street depot ("FFS" on the Keene fare boxes) in Manhattan. |
