An examination of the varied paths of the American inter-city bus
industry from its origins in the second decade of the 20th century
to deregulation in 1982. This sector of transport has been much
neglected by historians and this book seeks to uncover a range of
useful and pertinent information to those who are interested in
understanding entrepreneurial endeavours, patterns of mobility and
consumer attitudes. It analyzes the development of the national
industry, probes the growth of particular companies and
investigates specific aspects of business behaviour. The work is
presented as a series of focused essays which offer insights into
such topics as regulation, marketing, gender patterns and
intermodal competition. It draws on diverse archival materials,
government surveys and findings, trade publications, interviews and
photographs. A wide-ranging bibliographical essay offers a guide to
available sources.
