Yeah things were bad back then. I remember the Fishbowls coming back since the Grummans had to be shelved.
The Fishbowls were on their last leg for a while and now they were brought back from the dead. It was not fun hitting those bumps on Fordham Road and Pelham Parkway. The whole bus would shake rattle and role like a paint can shaker. :-)
By the time I got to high school in 1984, the 12 was still half RTS and hald Fishbowl. The funny thing I remember was that on the cold or snowy days, it always looked like the route was almost completely Fishbowl. I figured maybe the RTS wouldn't do too well in the bad weather. And I also remember that in the 70's they were still putting chains on the back tires of the Fishbowls.
