BMT Brooklyn Manhattan Transit Feb 1, 1939 18th Ave.-Foster Ave. Route Ticket #02000 Rare
UNPUNCHED - EXCELLENT CONDITION - BMT TRANSIT ARCHIVE
Extremely rare uncirculated specimen featuring a perfect milestone serial number, issued on February 1, 1939.
This is an excellent, uncirculated "Omnibus Route B. 8 Transfer (A)" from the B. B. Corp. (Brooklyn Bus Corporation), a subsidiary of the BMT, issued in early 1939.
Condition and Provenance
This item is part of a substantial, high-grade transit collection featuring decades of curated New York City history. This ticket was recently removed from a long-term archival collector’s binder and remains in museum-quality condition. The printing is remarkably vivid, featuring bold black typography and sharp, deep-red date and serial number stamping that has remained crisp for over 85 years.
Collector Highlights
Serial Number: This is ticket #02000, a premier milestone round number specimen issued for the 18th Ave.-Foster Ave. Route.
Heavyweight Landmarks: This specific ticket is a keyword powerhouse for Brooklyn collectors. It was valid for final rides on the Coney Island Ave. Lines to Park Circle and the McDonald-Vanderbilt Line toward Prospect Park West and 20th St.
Multi-Mode Connections: The ticket also provided transfers to three separate omnibus routes, including the Staten Island Ferry-Third Ave.-60th St. (B. 9) route and the 75th St. (Bay Ridge Parkway)-Stillwell Ave. (B. 4) route toward 86th St. It notes it was issued on trips toward Cropsey Ave. for passengers boarding at or west of Nostrand Ave.
Uncirculated Specimen: This ticket is unpunched and has never been separated from a conductor's pad, preserving its clean, factory-straight edges. It has been maintained for decades in archival condition.
Historical Context
The 18th Ave.-Foster Ave. Route (B-8) was a critical connector through the heart of Midwood, Bensonhurst, and Borough Park. Issued in 1939, this ticket documents the sophisticated coordination between Brooklyn's iconic trolley lines and the rapidly expanding bus network just one year before the system-wide 1940 city takeover.
