Fellows:
I wanted to post these two old photos of MTA police buses in honor of the two brave and heroic officers who tragically lost their lives in the line of duty.
Buses such as seen here are long gone, but the legacy of pride and bravery left behind by these two brave officers will live on forever.....

....if the humble bus can serve the FINEST, then, indeed, the most HUMBLE of officers is, by far, the GREATEST hero of all.......

In speaking of New York heroes, we cannot neglect to mention New York's Bravest, the NYFD.
This Flxible coach (based on the popular "AIRPORTER" of the day) could also serve as a mobile first aid station, and was equipped with stretchers, cots, and sterilizers.
It also had its own generator, oxygen supply, and hot water tank.
This unique "bus" could also hook up to local power sources.......

This is an EXCELLENT page on CROWN buses throughout the decades; many rare and handsome coaches are to be found here, recalling the long-ago days when BUSES looked like BUSES, and not giant milk cartons or mutated insects!
Scroll down the page for a photo of two LAPD Crown coaches, side-by-side, awaiting "passengers".......
