7LineFan Posted November 29, 2008 Share #2 Posted November 29, 2008 Found one mistake. "A second reason is that by the end of the 1980s most MTA buses were using LED displays" Flip-discs. LED displays only came into existence on buses within the past 5-10 years. Otherwise it's a great read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
