When the Railroads Took the Bus

First paragraph: "Rail passenger ridership peaked in 1920 and started a steady decline thereafter interrupted only by World War II. Early buses were one competitor for rail riders, and more than two dozen railroads responded by starting their own bus companies in the 1920s. Some just offered local service feeding into their trunk rail lines, but many rail-owned bus companies competed directly against passenger trains for interstate and transcontinental business."
