The merry pranksters at New York’s MTA are turning the holiday season into a kooky, trip-your-brains-out, you’ve-fallen-down-a-wormhole, what-in-the-name-of-all-that’s-holy-is-happening-to-you time-travel freakout by putting a vintage 1958 GM bus into service on a selection of routes. Reader Dimitrios Gazis filed a full dispatch with the Jeremiah’s Vanishing New York blog, and reports that “the noise and the stench of diesel was comforting.” A reader of the EV Grieve blog, meanwhile, caught the bus, #9098, in transit on 34th Street between First and Second Avenues. That’s his photo above. The whole thing is nutty and beautiful. I miss New York.
