Overview

The London Transport Museum was established in 1980 to explain the transport history of London. It has two sites: the main site in Covent Gardens, and the London Transport Museum Depot on Acton. This museum covers all aspects of transportation in and around London including busses, trains, trams, and boats.


Buses


The London bus dates back to 1829 with the introduction of the omnibus. It held 22 passengers and had only one route. This bus would often get crowded so they had the revelation of adding seats to the roof, creating the first double decker bus. As they gained popularity, features were added to them such as a roof on the second deck.
