Hylan's "emergency bus lines"

Hylan's "emergency bus lines"

From the late 1910s to the early 1930s, Mayor John Francis Hylan of New York City, United States authorized a system of "emergency bus lines" managed by the Department of Plant and Structures. These were eventually ruled illegal by the courts, and those that continued to operate obtained franchises from the city.
