September 20, 1955 The NYCTA announced that buses will replace the PCC cars on route B-68 (Coney Island Avenue) on November 30. Only 20 cars were needed for this route. Then the NYCTA plans a similar fate for route B-35 (Church Avenue) if more than enough buses would become available to replace the 34 PCC cars used on that heavy route. At the?same time, the 6 PCC cars used on route B-50 (McDonald Avenue) will be taken out of service without replacement.? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
