W.B.:

Thanks for the info; much appreciated, as always.

100 buses SOUNDS like a LOT, BUT, when you figure how many hundreds were once to be found in all five boroughs, well. it sure doesn't seem like all that much (still, they lasted far longer than those rostered by "En-Jay-Tee", (including the second-hand RTS [ex-MTA] which I well recall years ago on ACADEMY's "22").........

W.B.:

I WELL recall all the "politically correct" nonsense then going on, accusing the MTA of assigning its oldest buses to the poorest areas.

I shudder to think what these complaints would have been like, had these people lived during the last few years of "Soiface".........
