In a wonderfully "gritty" view of a "Noo Yawk" working-class neighborhood, we see MABSTOA #PA131 at Broadway & 173, on an overcast day in 1982........

Here we see MABSTOA #PA113 at Broadway & 72nd; also note the old IRT station house on the right (look closely....it appears that a WAMATA bus can just be glimpsed in the background)............

Looking every inch a classic transit coach, this WAMATA Fishbowl (WAMATA #1301/MABSTOA #1713) was snapped at South Ferry, back in 1981.......
