Walter Hancock built self-propelled buses way back in the 1830s, powered by steam, and they ran in London. The Hancock company was a forerunner of the Foden company who started by building steam road vehicles before moving on to diesel lorries and buses.
See:http://www.steamcar.net/brogden-3.html
Steam, petrol and diesel driven buses were invented by different people it seems. BUT according to wiki answers .. I was curious about this..
The first bus was made in 1662. Blaise Pascal invents the first public bus - horse-drawn, regular route, schedule, and fare system. wiki.answers.com
I guess not many people know that
