be state-of-the-art from both environmental and technological standpoints. Also, work to modify this depot to accommodate articulated-buses has been completed, with the B38 converted to articulated buses as of September 1, 2019, and for electrically powered buses is currently underway for future use. Fleet New Flyer XD40 New Flyer XDE40 New Flyer XD60 Routes Local Routes: Articulated Local Routes: Jackie Gleason Depot The Jackie Gleason Depot, called the Fifth Avenue Depot until June 30, 1988, is located on the east side of Fifth Avenue between 36th and 39th Streets in Sunset Park, Brooklyn (), just west of the 36th-38th Street Yard and Ninth Avenue station of the New York City Subway. The depot had been a passenger terminal named Union Station. Steam trains ran from some of the outlying parts of Downtown Brooklyn where they then continued their journey into Manhattan. Following that, it operated as an elevated car inspection shop from sometime in the early 1900s until approximately 1940, when it was acquired by the city's Board of Transportation. In 1944, it began operation as a bus garage called Fifth Avenue Depot. In 1959, the depot was equipped with heaters to circulate hot water through the heating and cooling systems of buses that had to be stored outside due to the lack of storage space. The depot was later rebuilt, and it opened on September 6, 1984. On June 30, 1988, the depot was renamed after Jackie Gleason, who grew up in Brooklyn and played bus driver Ralph Kramden in The Honeymooners; this renaming occurred one year after Gleason's death. The depot later housed a bus built in 1949 similar to that used on the show, part of the New York Transit Museum fleet. The depot facilitated the first testing of compressed natural gas (CNG) buses in 1992, when a dual-fueled CNG/Diesel bus was housed in the facility. The bus was fueled at the Brooklyn Union Gas Company facility in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. In November 1995, the NYCTA installed a fueling station (leased from Brooklyn Union) at the cost of $1.6 million for several Transportation Manufacturing Corporation (TMC) RTS-06 CNG buses and a fleet of BIA Orion 5.501 CNGs. The depot was fully equipped with CNG on June 7, 1999, with the original "slow-fill" fueling station replaced with a "fast-fill" station. It became the first NYCTA depot to support CNG buses. Also, this depot has been modified to accommodate articulated-buses,
