Ah, yes, the youth hostel. But why not extend the M60 even further south? It could turn around easily at, say, 72nd Street and serve the heart of the Upper West Side.
I think the loop has been officially changed. The buses now drop off their last passengers on Broadway between 107th and 106th. After the layover, they u-turn and pick up passengers across Broadway. Every M60 does this now, and IINM the signs reflect this change. If it wasn't official, then every single driver is driving some route other than the M60. (Incidentally, when is a driver authorized to operate off-route? Long before the current construction started -- about ten years ago -- I was on a northbound M104 that, instead of driving into a traffic jam (!) on the now-closed bit of Broadway between 72nd and 73rd, bypassed it (and the bus stop, where another bus was picking up passengers at the time) via Amsterdam and 73rd. It probably wasn't permitted but the passengers all appreciated it!)
