About this book

Omnibuses and Cabs: Their Origin and History by Henry Charles Moore is a comprehensive exploration of the development of public transportation in London, focusing on the rise and evolution of omnibuses and cabs from their earliest days to the late nineteenth century. The book delves into the social, economic, and technological factors that shaped urban transport, tracing the transition from horse-drawn vehicles to more advanced forms of conveyance. Moore provides vivid descriptions of the bustling streets of London, the colorful characters who drove and managed the vehicles, and the daily lives of passengers who relied on these services. He examines the challenges faced by operators, including competition, regulation, and the impact of changing city infrastructure. Richly detailed and meticulously researched, Omnibuses and Cabs offers fascinating anecdotes, historical illustrations, and firsthand accounts that bring to life the dynamic world of Victorian-era transportation. The book not only chronicles the vehicles themselves but also reflects on their broader significance in shaping modern urban life, making it an essential read for anyone interested in the history of London, public transport, or the social fabric of the nineteenth century.
