BUSES provide the basis for public transport throughout the world and come in an almost infinite variety of shapes and sizes. A selection of vehicles are illustrated and described in Buses of the World (Ian Allan; £6.95), compiled by Derek Moses. Buses from 20 of the world's more industrial countries are described.
From the Shanghai bus factory in China to Motor Coach Industries in the USA, buses being manufactured or still in service are included. Although vehicles of all types and from both sides of the Iron Curtain are illustrated and described, don't expect a complete or up-to-date catalogue of all that is available.
While the book does include some interesting models rarely described in the West, the selection is not comprehensive and countries omitted include some major bus producers like India and South Korea.
