On [[June 30]], [[1988]] the [[MTA New York City Transit buses|New York City Transit Authority's]] '''Fifth Avenue Bus Depot''' in [[Brooklyn]] was renamed for native [[Brooklynite]] [[Jackie Gleason]] who played the character of bus driver [[Ralph Kramden]] on [[The Honeymooners]]. Kramden worked for the fictional Gotham Bus Company. It is located on 5th Avenue & 39th Street in the neighborhood of [[Sunset Park, Brooklyn|Sunset Park]] in [[Brooklyn]], [[New York]], adjacent to the [[36th-38th Street Yard]] of the [[New York City Subway]].

Around 1995, the depot converted to [[compressed natural gas]] (CNG) operation. It is one of two CNG bus depots in New York City Transit (along with [[West Farms Depot]], with [[College Point Bus Depot]] and [[Spring Creek Bus Depot]] in MTA bus) and the only all CNG bus depot in the city.
