The Beginning
The Rube hopes to take one of these tours before the end of this series; it seems like it would provide a great perspective for street photography -- just a little bit "above it all."
In fact he would like to do the 48-hour "all loops" tour -- look at all you get on this map! True, it will cost $71, but if you stay on the bus all the time except to go to the bathroom and the weather is good, it is a great bargain.
Each double-decker has a tour guide; one of the Rube's favorite movies about NYC is "The Cruise", a 1998 documentary about one of them, Timothy "Speed" Levitch. Regrettably, it hasn't been released on DVD, but this review gives a good sense of the film.

This page requires a 6.0+ browser for the pictures/text to display correctly. If you have an older version of Netscape, Explorer, or AOL, the text will appear cut off and the pictures distorted.
Site Tips: If you have Explorer or AOL (recent version), and a mouse with a scroll wheel, you should be able to move the mouse anywhere over the text at right and scroll it with the wheel, so you can still see the picture while reading.
Most of the pages have a large version of the main picture which you can make your wallpaper by first clicking on it to download, then right-clicking and choosing "Set as Background".
