New York Bus Service 1970's era GMC fishbowl windshield commuter bus. New York City USA.

I found this unique photo of one of New York City's past express commuter buses.

The General Motors Corporation's line of TDH series fishbowl windshield "New Look" transit buses, were a hit with the traveling public from the very begining when they were introduced in the year of 1959. They came in a number of variations, such as the standard 35 and 40 Foot transit bus models, air conditioned, un airconditioned open window, soft seats, hard plastic Laundromat style seats, and even a "Short" 3 side window model as well.

This bus with no rear exit transit style doors, was more than likely used in suburban connecting express bus service, with very few stops and mainly serving many commuter train stations around the greater New York City area. The striking and very colorful red white and blue colors, were proboubly introduced around 1976 during America's nationwide Bi Centenial celebration.
