An Omnibus of the 1850’s NYC
An omnibus was basically a big, boxy stagecoach,
but it ran along a designated route and the fare was cheap.
If someone wanted to ride one, they just put up their hand,
and to get off they pulled a leather strap, which was connected to the ankle of the driver.
In 1857,In hot weather the city stank with the emanations of horse manure.
