Neot's Dorking- Tenterden Dover Tunbridge and Wrotham Epsom Tunbridge Wells Gravesend Witney Greenwich Woolwich Halstead Worthing-At the desire of many high and influential parties , arrangements are now being made for the formation of a Company for bringing this most important invention into public use . This omnibus is now running between Bayswater and Charing-cross . Further improvements are , however , in progress , whereby its width will be much diminished , so as to suit the more crowded thoroughfares of the City , and so aleo as to accommodate twelve instead of ten inside passengers with increased comfort . The value of this important invention may be formed by the whole and entire press being warm with respect to its success . The Times thus speaks of it : — ( From the Times of the 17 th of March , 1851 , p . 3 . ) " PATENT OMNIBUS . " A good deal of curiosity wa 3 occasioned on Thursday in the line from Bayswater to Charing-cross by the appearance of a new omnibus , which certainly brings to bear many , if not all , the desired ends of such conveyances . Each traveller has a seat to himself , and such seat is as private as a box at the opera , while ladies may thus ride as secure from annoyance aa in their own carriage . The contrivance altogether is certainly ingenious , and divested of all cumbrous appearance , the whole not weighing more than an ordinary omnibus . The most novel feature is the way in which the passengers obtain their places , both in the body of the omnibus and on the roof ; to the latter , indeed , a child may ascend without fear of injury . The appearance of so useful a means of transit at this particular moment may be looked upon as an evidence that ingenious minds are at work to provide eilectively not only for the approaching crowds , but for the ultimate comfort and security of the cheaptravelling community . " And the Globe as follows , viz .: ( From the Globe of the 21 st of March , page 1 . ) "OMNIBUS AND PUBLIC CONVEYANCE . " It is now upwarda of 20 years since the first omnibus , » foreign importation , was started in London ; yet , strange to Bay , during that period not a single improvement worthy of notice upon the original cumbersome and inconvenient vehicle has taken place . Nor does such improvement now arrive from those who , being most interested , would be presumed to be most aliveto the neceHsity . We are to be indebted to a private gentlemana Mr . Fraiiklinaki , for the llrst radical improvement in our street conveyances , who , in the newoinuibun now running experimentally from Bayswater toCharing-croas , has certainly succeeded in awakening our gratitude for the introduction of efllcient means of metropolitan transit . Hy it wo ami our friends , anil won * especially luilivH , may travel from one place to another without fear of inconvenience or annoyance of robbery or infection . ' ' general arrangement , and the great comlort it ensures , leave nothing to be dctiired , and it can be alone a question of time to witness its appearance on all the principal routes . " . The pros pec tuses are prepared , and shortly will be published , with such utatiuticul details us will satisfactorily prove the vnst profits to be derived by the shitruholdcru from this loiig--d « s » r ?
