Artifact Overview
The first horse-drawn omnibuses on American streets appeared in the late 1820s. These large, enclosed vehicles provided regular, fare-based transportation on fixed routes through cities. The modern motor bus serves the same purpose in American cities today. "Omnibus" is a Latin word meaning "for all."
