Start of ths Omnibus.
Tile invention of omnibuses Is due
to the philosopher I’ascal. who. in
February. 1<»<>7, obtained a "privilege"
or a patent for public carriives to
travel through certain streets of Paris.
They held eight passengers, who paid
six sous each, and were very success
ful, although un act of parliament of
Paris forbade them being used by lack
eys. soldiers and other humble folk.
Pascal died In 1067. and Ills useful In
vention did not long survive him. The
omnibus reappeared in London about
the beginning of the last century and
was adopted in several French provin
cial towns before Paris accepted it
again.
