The M-106 was redesignated the M-42 and the M-16 12th Avenue branch was redesignated the M-34 as of April 1986 when Javits Center was opened. The elimination of duplicate route numbers took effect as of July 1974 but i recall signs with the new numbers on buses before the official change. The routes changed were as follows:
M-1 Madison/Chambers became the M-22
M-3 49th/50th Streets became the M-27
M-6 72nd Street Crosstown became the M-30
M-7 65th Street Crosstown became the M-29
M-11 York Avenue became the M-31
M-15 5th Avenue/Jackson Heights became the M-32
M-15 23rd Street Crosstown became the M-26
M-20 57th Street Crosstown became the M-28
M-101A 3RD/Lex/Lenox became the M-102
TB Triboro Brige became 3 routes M-35 Manhattan to Astoria,M-34 Manhattan to Wards Island,Bx21 Bronx to Astoria.
I also recall seeing different route numbers on the old NYMCO Map but have no idea when those routes were changed but i recall some of those lines were paper routes only M-102 125 th Street Crosstown for one.
Hope this helps
Thank You
