Wanna bet 75 got in there before 81?

Wanna bet 75 got in there before 81?

Hmmmm. That’s a good question. Back in the day there would no question. E75 would bolt out of Jerome Ave house straight across 183 to Concourse and fly up to 196 while 81 was slowly climbing the hill from Bailey to Sedgwick. With new hi torque hi HP diesel engines 81 flies up the hills now. And 75 has to circle around to get up to Concourse. Interesting to see who would get into that box first.

75 out of quarters, 2 turns they are on the Concourse.
Looks like 81 has six or seven turns coming around the reservoir.

Since 75 moved to new quarters a few blocks south and off of Jerome Ave the area above Kingsbridge road changed with 81 being moved up in assignments and 75 going back, basically they flip flopped.

75s tenth of a mile move south made all the difference.in these assignments.
Would 81 go up Kingsbridge road to Jerome or Reservoir Avenue to get to these boxes? Mileage appears to be the same but a lot less turns going up Kingsbridge.

Time of day is a big factor with Kingsbridge Road heavily travelled with buses and car double parking issues, straight from quarters up Albany crescent is most likely route especially to 196 and creston Ave.
