[MaBSTOA 15]

The attached photo was taken sometime between June and August 1963.

The three GM New Looks were delivered to MaBSTOA during June 1963. These were the first New Looks purchased by MaBSTOA and they were numbers 3301-3555. Number 3470 is clearly seen in the foreground.

Buses were barred from entering Washington Square in August 1963.

Note the destination sign of number 3470 working route 3

[W.B. Fishbowl]

It was actually on Sept. 2, 1963 that the ban on buses first took effect. But before that, yes, the newer MaBSTOA Fishbowls saw action along the Square. And to think all types of buses (and before that, horse-drawn coaches) traversed that section.

In any event, a beautiful photo.
