1955/2000s: Rosa Parks bus
Transportation, Buses, Public Transportation, American history, Civil Rights, Rosa Parks, Henry Ford Museum, Montgomery, Alabama
This is the bus Rosa Parks was riding when she was arrested for refusing to give up her seat to a white man in Montgomery, Alabama on December 1, 1955. At the time, Jim Crow laws in Alabama demanded that seating on buses be racially segregated. Ms. Parks' action sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott and became an important episode in the Civil Rights movement. The bus was identified through the bus company's records, and purchased and restored by the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan.

2011: Bob the street cat on a bus
Transportation, Buses, Public transportation, Animals, Cats
According to the photographer: "A somewhat unusual passenger on the 73 bus; he sat in his seat, washing himself matter-of-factly, as if it were a perfectly normal place for a cat to be." Bob the ginger cat is the companion of James Bowen, who is a street musician who sells the homeless persons' magazine Big Issue in London. Bowen rescued Bob and the two now go everywhere together. Bowen wrote about his life with Bob in the book A Street Cat Named Bob.

2011: Classic double decker London bus
transportation, buses, public transportation, London
The Old Routemaster buses are definitely an icon of London transportation. They are the buses where you could jump on and off at the back. There was a ticket inspector to sell you a ticket onboard from a machine they had hung round their neck, and the driver was tucked away in a cab at the front. Unfortunately, they went out of general service at the end of 2005 as they were not accessible for wheelchairs and baby strollers. The buses are still used on the historic number 9 line.

2013: Bus spotting in Sri Lanka
Transportation, Buses, Public transportation, Sri Lanka, Women
This picture shows a woman waiting at a local bus stop in Sri Lanka as seen from the bus stand. There is a mirror on the inside of the bus stand usually used by ladies on their way to work in the morning. A young man in the bus stand can be seen in the mirror. The bumpy trip to the nearest town (about 6 km up the road) costs about 7 cents.
