Answer:
- London's first regular bus service was started by George Shillibeer on 4 July 1829. Shillibeer's omnibus could carry up to 20 passengers and was drawn by three horses. Shillibeer's first route ran from the suburb of Paddington via Regent's Park to Bank in the City. The five mile journey usually took an hour. The one shilling fare was too expensive for the average London worker.
