New York City Transit Authority 1969 Fxible 40 foot transit bus. New York City NY. (Fron the internet.)

I just recently spotted this photo of a New York City Transit Authority 1969 air conditioned Flxibe 40 foot new look transit bus, and I just couldn't resist the opportunity to post it here on todays "Bus Day" edition of Eddie's Railfan Page.

Many citties across North America utilized large fleets of Flxible transit buses like this one during the 1960's and 70's era. Chicago had simullar Flxible buses that were un airconditioned, but served various Chicago Transit Authority bus routes for many years. Chicago's CTA operated Flxible New Look fishbowl windshield buses like this from 1961, until they were finally retired in 1986.

The New York City example shown here, is wearing a striking two tone blue color scheme in regular service.
