two-tone green livery.
New
two-tone green color scheme was introduced by NYCTA with its second order
for GM TDH-5106s, which was delivered in August-September 1958. The 7000-series
buses were repainted in this livery soon. In 1963 125 buses of this batch
(7000-7124) were assigned to Flatbush. In 1969 many 7000s were reassigned
to Staten Island Division's Castleton Avenue Depot. Most coaches were
retired by 1972, some were sold to Jersey City where operated until 1976.
Bus 7144 was preserved and is now part of the Transit Authority's historic
fleet.
