80. Big Red Bus

The Unitrans vintage red London double decker bus is a familiar sight in the city of Davis. It was a big thrill riding on the top deck of that bus as a little kid! Learn about how public transit started in 1826 as an Omnibus that shuttled people to a public bath. Jeff Flynn, general manager of Unitrans, shares how this student-operated bus service logs over 1 million miles a year and carries over 22,000 passengers each day. Then travel to India — home to 92,000 animal species, the wettest inhabited place on earth, a Guinness world record holding bus fleet, a 42,000-mile rail network, and cricket matches that draw 100 million viewers each.
