The fabled "AVENUE B. & E. BROADWAY" bus company's three routes were taken over by MaBSTOA.
Well into the 70's, this "indy" company was quite popular with bus fans, as the company was still operating MACKS (these buses were the very last MACKS to operate in the City.
Let's take a nostalgic look back to the days when "buses still looked like buses".......

When this photo was snapped, MACK suburban #504 was a rare specimen, indeed.
Imagine this handsome relic as a museum bus today........
