Article 160059: Met de bus mee - groei en bloei van 1950 tot 1963 for € 39,90
In the Netherlands, many books have been published on rail transport and the train. In comparison, regional bus transport as a mode of transport has remained rather underexposed. This is regrettable from a cultural-historical point of view, because it is precisely because of regional transport that the countryside could develop and the business centers could tap into a source of labor. Regional transport made urban centers more accessible to rural residents than before who did not have access to a (motorized) means of transport. This book, the second part in the series, aims to make up for that omission. In the foregoing part, with the subtitle ″Arrival and departure in 1950″ we arrived by bus in 1950. The Reconstruction of the regional transport after the second world war is then almost complete. The (re) structuring, deployed in the 1930s, is largely over by then. Arriving in 1950, a number of issues remain that need to be resolved. Regional transport benefits from tailwind: the number of travelers is increasing and - modest - profit is being made. The peak of this period is in 1963. After 1963, regional transport faced headwinds by repression. Many prefer their own transport by moped or, increasingly, by car above the bus. The author takes the reader on a virtual journey through the Netherlands and describes the transport companies who are active in regional transport.
