The first buses originated in 1826 in Nantes, France when the owner of public baths, Stanislav Braudy, created a collective transport system to help customers more easily access his facilities. While the origins of bus-like transit can be traced to 17th century Paris, it was the bus created by Colonel Stanislas Baudry in 1825 that achieved the most success and popularity as a collective means of transportation within cities. This idea was then implemented in cities like New York and London, where the first bus line launched in 1829. The modern bus concept emerged in 1831 when Walter Hancock introduced a vehicle powered by an engine, rather than horses, laying the foundations for the term "bus".

2. The first buses.
Origin of the bus station dates back to the year 1826, in
Nantes (France). Stanislav Braudy, owner of public baths,
thought for customers to access more easily to their
facilities to lack some kind of collective transport.

3. The origin of the bus can be found in the 17th century. It was
Paris, the French capital, the first great European city in use
by the year 1662. However, despite being a good idea, that
system failure by uncomfortable and expensive. Worked with
5 lines from March of 1662 until the summer of 1677.

4. With the emergence of the streetcar in 1775, it seemed
that the problem of displacement within the big cities
would be resolved, but it was the bus of Colonel
Stanislas Baudry in 1825 the collective means of
transport which obtained more success and
popularirdad.

5. The idea was so successful that was held in New York and also
to London, where he also came to fruition, and there the first
line of bus in 1829. Two years after the triumph of the bus, in
the year 1831, the idea arose of the English Walter Hancock. It
is distinguished from the bus the bus had steam engine, that is
to say, could move by itself, hence the Greek prefix auto = by
itself. Here is the origin of the word bus.

6. The idea was put into operation on an experimental basis to
cover the line of the City of London and the city of Stratford.
His first name was not the bus or the bus, but the infant.
Hancock endowed to your vehicle on a petrol engine built by
the German firm Benz (Karl Benz) and began to multiply the
number of units from 1895.

7. From 1822 the big European cities of Paris, Berlin and London
had some means of transport. In Berlin 40 years later the
Omnibus-Aktiengesellschaft or Aboag Allgemeine Berliner had
a fleet of two hundred and fifty seven buses and a thousand and
eighty-nine horses to pull them.
