Since the early horse-drawn days in London, the ubiquitous urban bus has been carrying passengers in British streets for 160 years. In modern times it has been unrivalled as a means of urban transport since the demise of the electric tram. This programme maps the history and development of the bus in its social and economic context and takes a look at the major technological advances of the vehicles that are on the roads today.
