I cannot believe that John Lennon will be gone 40 years in 2020; indeed, a lifetime.

What I am curious about, is what bus route(s) then operated in the vicinity of the Dakota, where he then ...

An interesting New Look, #3000 of the NYPD

Awesome. I saw this bus a few times. Originally, it was white with black stripe which were NYTPD colors at the time. While it looked like a TA/OA T6H- ...

At this point, my guess is is that the oldest NYCTA depots are: East New York, Jamaica, Fresh Pond, Castleton and 126th Street. At MTAB, all are at least somewhat old except College Point.

Thank a bunch. I didn't care to much for TTC's current color scheme on high floor buses, but I agree that it works well on ...
