Synopsis
'Buses by Design' looks at the progression of bus design over the past half-century, revealing the various factors that have influenced its pace and style. Changing legislation, advances in technology, modern materials, and operators' demands are all assessed against a background of constant social change. Featuring service buses rather than coaches, the book begins with a brief historical background effectively illustrating how buses developed from the high-built solid-tyred machines of 100 years ago to the increasingly sophisticated vehicles of modern times. By exploring innovative products that pushed design forward and comparing these to the other body styles available on the market at the time, Booth gives a unique perspective on the effects of time and creativity. In addition to mainstream designs, unique customised designs produced for major operators are also featured. Separate sections detail single-deck, double-deck and small bus designs for greater ease. Beautifully illustrated throughout in both colour and mono, the book includes a handsome collection of photographs of both the changing face of the external body as well as the interior seat design of the various vehicles. 'Buses by Design' is certain to be very popular with road transport enthusiasts around the country, as well as appealing to bus manufacturers and designers, and to those interested in industrial design.
