I do agree that the M100 operated from AMSThe old Bx20 (now Bx9) was definitely a KB route as it is today. The olny Bronx route that operated from AMS was the Bx34 (now Bx6). |

I remember specifically because it was the only bus route in the Bronx to run 8400 series 5303s. Plus it ran the same equipment that the M100 ran. |

Somewhere along the line it shared the same equipment as the M100. According to this roster the 8400s did not run out of Kingsbridge and I never saw 8400s on the Bx1, Bx2, Bx3, Bx41, etc which operated out of Kingsbridge. |

For most of the 1970s Kingsbridge had 8301-8376 and AMS had from there and into the lower 8400 series. At the same time KB also had 4813-4832, 4860-4919. |

For years the Bx30 (149th Street Crosstown) ran out of AMS (as of 1968 and 1970) before being reassigned circa 1973-74 to OFS. I've wondered, after 'TB' was broken up into M34, M35 and Bx21 in mid-1974, which depot(s) each route was assigned. |

I know the first 75 or so A/C batwings were scattered amongst the Bronx depots. The lowest-numbered A/C batwing at AMS was either 8376 as of 2/70, or 8372 as of 1/1/73 and 1/6/74. In the 2/70 period, WF had 8301-8303, COL had 8304-8307, and KB had 8308-8375; by the 1973 and 1974 lists, 8301-8371 were all at KB. (6447 in the first pic was also a KB bus.) I was asking about the AMS route assignments in the 1973-74 period, and I saw no indications of any buses except M100 and M104 by that period. There was also a pic of a Bx30 from 1974, running a batwing (either in the 6706-6735 or 8695-8780 range) from OFS. Bx30 was out of AMS as of 4/68 and 2/70. |

So after 7/1/74, would there for a time have been two Bronx routes (Bx21 Bronx-Astoria via Triboro Bridge and Bx30 149th Street Crosstown) assigned out of Manhattan-based depots? |

I think the cutoff between KB and AMS 8300s got kinda murky after a few of them were converted to 2 X 2 high-back seating for express service on the X61 which was based at KB. I agree that KB eventually had 8301-8371. Later I do recall 8372 and 8374 coming to KB. At that point 8367, 8368, 8370, 8373, 8375 and 8376 had be converted for express service. |

Meaning the current Bx9, not the current Bx20 which is a part-time route from Inwood to Riverdale Ave. What was the real reason for that renumbering (along with others like Bx38 to Bx3), and when did it take place? |

At the time of the mass Bronx bus renumbering I heard that it was to simplify and reduce confusion. Not sure how that was to happen, but I believe it took place around early 1984, maybe a bit earlier.So much happened with some routes only being renumbered, some renumbered and changes, some combined with others, new service and discontinued routes. Then... many remained as they were. Many changed depot assignments as well. |

Actually, 4500-4505 were T6H-5310's, 102-inches wide like 'WayneJay' said, built for express bus service. The TA equivalent, I thought, would have been in the 6900's. Unless 6164-6199 were also earmarked for express buses . . . |

No-one around here seems to remember what the farebox code for 12th St. was - TW? (Along the lines of, say, the TA's Brooklyn Fifth Avenue = FI depot. |

The TA's 6901-6956 (which I failed to include on my last post) and those upper 6100 series were indeed GMC T6H-5310A for express service. Oddly enough in the 6900 group... 6948 was setup up with hard perimeter seating like it's T6H-5309A sisters. I wonder which model designation did it get. |

One of those 69xxs was at ulmer park around 1991 or 1992. Rode it home from school one day and we all enjoyed the express bus seating.It was loud as anything. Probably had an exhaust leak. |

It's one that I remember extremely well as it was one of the two routes (the other being WF's Bx36) I could see from our apartment as a child. It was also the route we rode most often. |

Would anyone know - and I may've asked this before - at what point between 1970 and 1974 was Bx30 transferred, in terms of where assigned, from AMS to OFS? I know the latter was where Bx30 was in the second half of the decade because I saw old front roll signs where it was alongside M1, M2, M7 and M10. Maybe after HUD opened and many rejugglings of bus routes by depot took place afterward? And which other routes, in the 1974 period, would have been at OTS aside from M3, M4 and M5? And at AMS besides M100 and M104? |

It definitely seems that lots of changes took place throughout MaBSTOA in '74. I was just 8-9 y/o old at the time. I do remember there was a in the late 70s/early 80s when AMS had only the M100 and M104, then it later rec'd the Bx34 (now Bx6) from KB. |

Wasn't it around this time that the first MaBSTOA fishbowls (3301-3555) were retired? They too, by the mid-'70's, looked about as beat-up as Surface Transportation System's fleet during that company's 1949-56 receivership. |

Conversely, in the early '80's some NYCTA Flxible 4000's and GMC 8000's, 8800's and 4300's-4400's saw some service on MaBSTOA routes (at least one Flxible 4000 series held down the M104 route out of Amsterdam). |
