Open top buses are a familiar sight in cities around the world, but their history is surprisingly long and varied. In her new book, Open Top Buses: A Journey Through Time, Elizabeth Barton traces the evolution of these iconic vehicles from their humble beginnings to their modern-day popularity.
The first open top buses were horse-drawn vehicles that appeared in London in the early 19th century. These buses were used to transport passengers to and from the city's railway stations, and they quickly became popular for their fresh air and panoramic views. In the late 19th century, steam-powered buses replaced horse-drawn buses, and these were in turn replaced by petrol-powered buses in the early 20th century.
During the Second World War, open top buses were used to transport troops and munitions, and they also played a role in the evacuation of civilians from London. After the war, open top buses continued to be used for public transport, and they also became popular for sightseeing tours. In the 1960s, open top buses were used by student protesters, and they became a symbol of the counterculture movement.
Today, open top buses are still used for public transport and sightseeing tours, but they are also popular for private hire. They are often used for weddings, parties, and corporate events. Open top buses are a unique and versatile way to travel, and they offer a great way to see the sights and sounds of a city.
Elizabeth Barton's book, Open Top Buses: A Journey Through Time, is a comprehensive history of these iconic vehicles. The book is packed with stunning photography and fascinating stories, making it a must-read for any fan of public transport or history.
