Buses emerged as a popular mode of transportation during the 1920s, initially serving as a more flexible alternative to trains, as they were able to reach areas that were not accessible by rail, connecting smaller towns and rural communities to the larger cities. As a result, buses played a crucial role in the development of the American transportation network. The end of World War II was followed by a decade of increasing prosperity, and the mid-20th century saw bus travel decline due to the rise of air travel, interstate highways, and increased car ownership. It was at this time that bus companies went into overdrive advertising their well established services as safe, convenient, and affordable ways to see America from coast to coast.
