[edit] Notes

1966

• 1 (ended where?) combined into NYCO 1 (Madison-135th-Lenox-147th)
• 2 168th to Washington Square, combined with NYCO 2
  • Alternate route added via 147th and Lenox
  • Northbound moved to Park and Madison
  • South end changed to 8th/9th
• 3 Fort George to Washington Square, combined with NYCO 2 (same as 2 except no alternate route on Lenox)
• 4 Fort Tryon to Penn Station, northbound moved to Madison

[edit] Questions

There were quite a few varieties of these four routes. For example, during the mid-70s, the #2 bus was rarely seen - instead the route was called the 2A. Not sure what the difference was. There were occasional uptown #1's that stopped at 98th street...again, not certain as to why. Is there any reference for these earlier route structures?Drgitlow (talk) 00:05, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
