We got a little distracted on Saturday with Independence Day activities, but we’d be remiss not to mention another important July 4th celebration: the building of the first bus. We can’t really pin down in what year this feat of engineering first occurred (some say 1662, others the 1820s, an some 1895), but at any rate it’s safe to say that our second favorite mode of mid-range distance transportation (after trains) has been around for the long haul. Accordingly, we’d like to honor our many-wheeled friends with this listicle of 16 Important Movie Scenes on Buses.
