Q38 (New York City bus)
- ... that the former operator of the Q38 bus route was not compensated for the route's takeover, as their equipment was considered obsolete? Source: Long Island Daily Press 1936. "The Affiliated Bus Company originally requested $25,000 in cash for its equipment, and eventually agreed to convey title for such equipment for the sum of $4,800 in cash. As the equipment was considered by the Triboro Company obsolete and worthless, the offer was rejected."

Improved to Good Article status by Kew Gardens 613 (talk) and Tdorante10 (talk). Nominated by Epicgenius (talk) at 16:04, 18 April 2020 (UTC).
This article is a newly promoted GA and is new enough and long enough. I prefer ALT0 as ALT1 is less interesting to a general reader, the hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:14, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
The QPQ has already been used on Template:Did you know nominations/Riverside Park (Manhattan). Please provide another one. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 15:35, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
- @Cwmhiraeth and Yoninah: Oops. I did another QPQ. epicgenius (talk) 18:23, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
