Reduce citations to make it more readable

Please, It also created three distinct surface transit divisions: the Brooklyn Bus and Trolley Division, the Staten Island Bus Division, and the Queens Bus Division.[4][6][10][11][28][29][30][31][32][33] this kind of referencing is entirely unnecessary and detracts from the readability of the article.
