Bus Trips Are Gay
And Informal
If you remember the movie
It Happened One Night" you
know why so many people
choose buses to carry them to
vacation lands. The film stress
ed the informality and friendli
ness of riding the highway
coaches.
Another big factor, of course,
is economy. When the driver
sings out his call for a "twenty
minute stop" passengers know.
too, that they can get by on a
small investment for lunch.
Of more than a billion passen
gers who ride the 30,000 inter
city buses each year, a large
number are summer vacationers.
Highway coaches rolled up al
most two billion miles last year.
Bus lines emphasize "scenic
stopovers" along highways that
reach almost every part of the
country. They stress comfort,
too. Most coaches on long runs
are air-conditioned. Seats are
soft and adjustable, and the new
buses have plenty of leg-room.
Wide windows frame the pano
rama of mountain grandeur or
green countryside along the
road.
Capital Journal Vacation Section, Salem, Ore., June 13, 1950 S
A single bus ride on a nation
al system can carry you as much
as a thousand miles. If you're
going farther, you can make
connections with another high
way coach to take you on the
next segment of your trip. When
travel is heavy, most lines ar
range for long-distance passen
gers to be seated before local
riders.
Some vacationers say they
choose bus travel because they
feel at home on the big highway
cruisers. Others feel they can
see more of the country from a
coach window.
. For bus enthusiasts, a High
way Travelers club was organ
ized recently. A non-profit ser
vice organization, with head
quarters in Chicago, it provides
members with a magazine sub
scription, travel literature and
tour information, maps, courtesy
cards and luggage labels.
And bus travel has proven so
popular, so convenient, and so
much a part of customary trans
portation that many overseas
tourists arrange for bus rides
through the European country
side as part of their trips. Euro
pean bus lines cooperate with
railroads and airlines in taking
passengers on short, scenic hauls
to places of interest.
Sightseeing trips by bus, here
and abroad, cover historic sites
as well as the usual things to
see in the cities.
