NEW YORK OMNIBUS 2629

Mention should be made of the now-defunct "SAFE BUS COMPANY", which was, indeed, an important pioneer in the bus industry.

There are several interesting historical photos on this page; one of the Fishbowls has been preserved for future generations.......

You are quite welcome! Wink

When it comes to bus history, I try to "delve" into the more-obscure aspects of the industry, seeking out long-forgotten, long-defunct companies/operations that I had not known about previously.

I've surprised even MYSELF, on more than one occasion! Wink

I first came across info on the "SAFE BUS COMPANY" years ago, and thougt it quite interesting, to say the least.....talk about "starting from the ground up"!

Fortunate that one of their Fishbowls has been preserved! Very Happy
