Brewery Buses

Here are some later-era buses near the P. Ballantine brewery, Newark, New Jersey, probably 1960s. Like "Bus Stop: 1938," one of a half-dozen bus-related photos I got at a flea market about 20 years ago. View full size.

Up to 1,855 passengers

This looks like the 40ft version of the GM "New Look" Bus. This version held up to 53 passengers. I count 35 buses, including Bus #1 which is out of frame. That means that they could have been hauling up to 1,855 people on this day.

Fishbowls

Submitted by Tobacconist on Mon, 01/30/2017 - 12:00pm.

These are first generation (1959–1962) GM New Look 53-passenger transit buses—often referred to as Fishbowls due to their multi-paned curved windshields.

Including the shadow on the far left, I count 35 buses. Multiply that by 53 passengers each, and you've got an expensive charter.

As with the Yellow Coaches seen in the link in the caption, they too are in the service of the Public Service Coordinated Transport of New Jersey. You can see the Public Service plaque attached over the GM logo on the front. A surviving example below.
