YES I did. I lived on Meacham Avenue, which was served by the Bee Line N-2, and its Fishbowl, #564. Before that, it was a GMC Old Style, #415. In my commuting days, the N-2 would run express from Stop 20 to Queens, making drop-off stops between City Line and Jamaica. I got off at 179th Street. MSBA took over around 1974 or so. One of the old-style GMC's (#619) was even painted in MSBA Blue/orange livery. It looked hideous. I don't remember the rose scent but I do remember the little bee logo they sported over their doors.
