I think that the Command bus is actually #487 and not #437. Command acquired 15 GMC Fishbowl buses from New York Bus Service which were repainted & re-numbered #482-496 (had to be around 1988-89) More than likely, NYBS did this to make way for the MCI Classics which ran in service around that time.

Yes, 437 was a typo. Do you have the original NYBS numbers for all 15?

Sorry, ripta42! I wish I did! The original site that had pictures of some of these buses (transitworld.org) didn't have the roster information for all of these buses. (I'm still trying to find the origin of Command Bus #490!) I know for sure that Command GMC Fishbowls #482-486 were ex-NYBS #1308-1312 respectively. The other buses, I don't have the other roster numbers for the remaining buses, with the exception of #492 which was NYBS #1337. If I find out, I'll let you know.

Thanks! I've updated the roster with this info.
