Forgotten New York

GREENPOINT AVENUE bus map

The Transit Authority (it was called that once) posted small bus route maps on the nearest available utility poles at bus stops in the Swinging Sixties. This one appears at Greenpoint and Gale Avenues at the Calvary Cemetery entrance. The #24 doesn’t follow this exact route anymore, and the #29 is a dim memory.

In the 1990s, the MTA began posting more detailed bus maps and schedules, but the cardinal rule is, the schedules are guesstimates at best!
