Posted by kcram3500 on Sun Jun 7 19:54:13 2020, in response to Nostalgia Corner: Some Old Bus Lines, posted by IRTRedbirdR33 on Sun Jun 7 12:03:55 2020. Dad and two uncles drove for Public Service Coordinated Transport... it's what Dad was doing when I was born, so I was around buses literally from day one. Dad worked from Lake Street Garage (closed and demolished by NJT), his brother Donny worked at Miller Street Garage (now the Newark Public Works garage), and his brother-in-law Lee drove out of Orange Garage. Dad drove until 1967... newest buses he piloted were the 1966 X300s (GMC TDH-5304). Donny became a road supervisor in the 70s, then a garage shift supervisor. Lee drove until 1978 and once those 8V71 Flxibles arrived in 1976, you couldn't pay him enough to take out a 6V71 GMC. |
