No. Liberty Lines had a handful that the ran mostly on the Concourse/Riverdale Express route to mid-town One was prominently featured in the 1984 Robin Williams Movie.Moscow On The Hudson bringing the visiting Russian musicians to Bloomingdale's, where the Williams character defects. They cleverly featured a "Liberty Lines" bus for the irony making it a part of the story line. Good move on the part of the director, IMO.

NJTransit and it's 2 earlier incarnations had a crowd of them, all 2nd hand, that were run on suburban commuter runs to PABT.
This bus ran for the Public Service, TNJ, or what is now known as the New Jersey Transit. I don't recall if any ever received NJTransit livery, many did get Transport Of NJ livery:

Most transit agencies used the "suburban" version (high back seats, reading lamps, mostly manual transmissions, luggage racks, raised floors and only no rear door.) of the GM "fishbowl for express and commuter runs.
