New York Transit Museum Bus Collection, Bus Festival, Brooklyn Bridge

Displaying the classic green that endured for decades, NYCTA 100 is a TDH-5301 (286) that was built in 1959. This order of 190 "New Looks" or "Fishbowls" was the first of the new model received by the city, but their numbers would ultimately grow into the thousands as the fleet standardized on 40 foot long/102 inch wide GMCs (later Nova Bus and TMC) and Flxibles (later Grumann Flxible) after the last Macks were retired. The next new manufacture buses to not come from either of these companies would be the Orion V purchase from OBI in the early 1990s.

Bus Festival. On Saturday, June 10, 2023, the New York Transit Museum/Metropolitan Transportation Authority - MTA held a "Bus Festival". This display of the musuem's vintage New York City bus fleet at the Emily Warren Roebling Plaza underneath the Brooklyn Bridge in Brooklyn, New York was free to the public. The star of the show was recently restored MaBSTOA Flxible 4727 (111CC-D5-1), but it was joined by several other museum buses and newer vehicles. The museum fleet has more than 30 buses of different ages and manufacturers representing the history of the MTA and related private companies.
