New York Transit Museum’s 21st Annual Bus Festival

Young visitors can board buses for a journey into the past at this festival honoring a venerable form of New York City transportation. More than a dozen vintage buses and trucks will be stationed at the celebration, including Betsy, the oldest in the fleet, a Fifth Avenue Coach Company double-decker that ran from 1931 until 1953, and Bus 3100, a prototype from the same company that was one of the first air-conditioned buses nationwide. Transit historians will discuss the vehicles, and educators from the museum will lead art projects for children — who will be asked to envision the buses of the future — at the festival, part of the Atlantic Antic street fair.
