As ridership patterns shifted and track maintenance grew costly, many electric streetcar lines were gradually replaced with gasoline-powered buses. Westchester County routes in particular illustrate the spread of suburban transportation networks, linking residential districts, recreational sites, and commuter corridors to the greater New York City system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"844\" data-end=\"1334\"\u003eThe image shows a side view of a Third Avenue Railway bus marked with fleet number 516, with passengers visible through the windows and individuals gathered alongside the vehicle. Period clothing and the bus body style reflect the early motor-coach design of the decade, with prominent fenders and a forward engine compartment. The photograph measures 4 x 2.5 inches and presents a clear documentary view of interurban bus operations during a formative period in regional transit history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1336\" data-end=\"1625\"\u003eThe item shown in the listing is the exact item the collector will receive.
