History |
|
During World War II, American automobile factories converted to wartime production, and tires and gasoline were both rationed, so many more people began riding buses to commute to work, and to travel long distances. After the War ended in 1945, it took some time to convert back to peacetime automobile production, and bus companies did a brisk business.
