The MTA is offering city bus riders a blast from the past during the holiday season.
From Dec. 5-21, vintages buses that were in use from the late 1940s to the early 1970s will be running along 42nd Street on weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Officials say the vehicles show how far bus design has come. Among the vintage buses are ones from the 1950s that were the first to have fluorescent lighting and push-type rear exit doors.
The buses will run if weather allows and not during inclement conditions.
