  3. Bus Story, 1943

    “Put me down with the people, and it’s just overwhelming."

    When American photographer Esther Bubley was 22, she took a 6 week Greyhound bus trip on her own, starting in New York City and ending in Memphis. She was hired by the US Office of War Information (OWI) to document everyday moments during the transition from economic depression to mobilization for WW II, as wartime rationing of gasoline and rubber drove the public to embrace mass transportation
