Summary "Omnibuses and Cabs: Their Origin and History" by Henry Charles Moore is a historical account written in the early 20th century. It delves into the fascinating evolution of public transport in London, focusing primarily on the development of omnibuses and cabs from their inception to the changes they underwent. The book provides insights into key individuals, innovations, and the socio-economic impacts related to these forms of transportation. At the start of the work, the author introduces the concept of omnibuses, detailing their debut in Paris in the 1660s and subsequent introduction to England by George Shillibeer in the 1820s. The narrative highlights the challenges faced by early operators, including competition from railways, operational fraud, and public reception challenges. Notably, the text details significant milestones, such as the formation of the London General Omnibus Company and the innovations in design and services that transformed public transportation in London. As a whole, this opening segment sets the stage for a comprehensive exploration of how omnibuses and cabs became integral to urban life and the dynamics of London’s streets.
