There was a large bus garage that occupied the entire block of East 99th Street between Lexington Avenue and Park Avenue in Manhattan. Back in the fifties I recall seeing lines of yellow & green GM buses lining up on Lexington Avenue in the late afternoon to enter the garage. Because the buses were always yellow & green I was wondering if this garage was, in fact, the Fifth Avenue Coach Company's bus garage.

That would have been the 100th Street garage of the New York City Omnibus Corp., which, along with the Fifth Avenue Coach Company, was renamed Fifth Avenue Coach Lines in July 1956. Under either name, you would have seen yellow and green buses. |
