Where does the bus come from? The bus is a French invention. Its creator? Blaise Pascal, a writer and a scientist. He introduced the first small bus in Paris, in 1662. Its first name? "Carrosse" - for only eight passengers. A great innovation, but not for a long time. Just a few years. Buses reappeared in 1823, in Nantes, a small French town. There, in front of the final bus station downtown, a certain Italian called Mr. Omnes had a shop with the name: "Omnes Omnibus". In Latin, omnis is all. Omnibus is for all. People immediately adopted the word as a good name for the new means of transportation. The word omnibus, later bus, is now popular in many countries. 1. De que pas o nibus originou?
