What are facts about Victorian buses?

Victorian buses, particularly in the late 19th century, were primarily horse-drawn and operated in urban areas, facilitating public transport in rapidly industrializing cities like London. The first motorized buses were introduced in the early 1900s, revolutionizing transportation. These early buses had wooden bodies, were often open-topped, and could carry around a dozen passengers. Additionally, the introduction of the "omnibus" in the 1820s paved the way for the modern bus system, influencing public transport globally.
