Joe: I wish I could answer your question, but, as I am not all knowledgeable on buses that once ran for these companies, I would not even hazard a guess.

I was, however, quite interested in the bus signed "49 STATEN ISLAND"; being from New Jersey, I have always associated runs to and from Staten Island with the now long-defunct DOMENICO.

However, I am sure that one of the experts here (far more knowledgeable on the old New York companies than I) will have an answer to your question.........
