The pseudo “express” service on the Bway N/O 96 St was NEVER called the “Bway Thru Express.” There was only one true Bway Thru Exp which utilized the middle between 103rd St and 137th St in the peak direction of traffic in the mid 1950s when the Bway had an exp service. due to switch locations at 103rd St and 137th St. The service didn’t last long.
