What's The Story
| Built in 1969 by the Flxible Corporation, Bus #4727 (Model 1110D51) marked a shift from the long-standing tradition of operating only GMC buses in the Bronx. The Manhattan and Bronx Surface Transit Operating Authority (MaBSTOA) purchased these Flxible 111-CCD51 models for their ability to handle the borough’s steep hills, and they proved to be dependable workhorses. Their success led to additional contracts with Flxible in the years that followed. In 1987, when new buses arrived with duplicate fleet numbers, the original 4000-series buses (including #4727) were renumbered into the 7000 series. |
