TransitJusticeForAll Posted December 25, 2015 Share #1 Posted December 25, 2015 Merry Christmas to all! Here are the buses that were part of the 2015 vintage bus ride for the M42 Crosstown route, as followed General Motors #4727 (not no the list for this year) Bus No. 3100: Manufactured by General Motors in 1956, this model TDH 5106 was the first air-conditioned transit bus to operate in New York City. It had push-type rear exit doors, wrap-around rear soft seating, fluorescent lighting, and the air-ride suspension that is the standard on modern transit buses. Here are the other buses in photos, that I had in one second slideshow. Just pause between 1:10 and 1:21 to see them. Bus No. 2969: Manufactured by General Motors, this model TDH 5101 was specifically designed in 1949 for New York City. It features a double-width front door to expedite the loading and unloading of customers. This bus is known as the Jackie Gleason bus, as it is similar in style to the bus operated by Gleason’s character, Ralph Kramden, on the television show “The Honeymooners.” Bus No. 6259: Manufactured by Mack Truck and Bus Company, model C49DT arrived to the fleet in 1956 and was in operation until 1969 in Staten Island and Brooklyn routes. The “DT’ in the model number stands for “Diesel Transit.” This model was delivered with cushioned seating but converted to hard plastic in the 1960s because of vandalism. Bus No. 9098: Manufactured by General Motors, this model TDH 5106 introduced the two-tone green color scheme of this era’s standard and was the first New York City bus equipped with sliding windows. These buses were the last order of “Old Look” style buses from GM for New York City Transit. Here are some regular bus service (both Local and +SBS): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgVrCtZqWh4 As promised, for Mysterious B Train, MTA Bus 2015 New Flyer XD60: (Note: The 2nd slide was a HUGE typo, so when you see this video, please dont blast me in the comments because we all know where these babies are going to go.
