"THE NAIRN WAY"*........
https://archive.aramcoworld.com/issue/198104/the.nairn.way.htm
This is truly an excellent and fascinating history of a long-ago, pioneering operation that I had no idea had ever existed, until just a few minutes ago.
The SAFEWAYS (as well as other buses and vehicles) are also highlighted here.......

Now that's the kind of bus, a driver would love, to isolate from loud and rowdy passenger's...like on a 'football charter'... |

The driver would NOT have to worry about "social distancing" between himself and his passengers, THAT'S for certain!
Just imagine driving a BEAST like that, NO power steering, NO a/c, NO pavement (much of the time!).....the driver(s) should have recieved COMBAT PAY!!

Some interesting vehicle on this page; note the (now-retired) "CAMEL"* trailer-bus that was once commonplace in Havana......

*(Most certainly NOT a type of vehicle not at all conducive to "desert" running!)

Note the 1949 BOMBADIER "B-12"; equip several of these with a powerful A/C system and they just might be able to handle the dunes and shifting sands of the Middle East, carrying paying passengers......

"BOMBARDIER "Snow Coach" (Again, "cat" treads would indeed help to get through the more remote desert areas of the Middle East)......

*Be sure to check out the "TERRA COACH"....indeed, a true BUS on treads! |

GREAT LINKS!!
Back in the late 1960's, I had an issue of NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC which featured an excellent feature on future transportation; there was a photo of a "mobile lounge" (Dulles) that, at the time, really blew my mind.....NEVER saw anything like THAT before!!
I often wonder how many airports (here and abroad) used "mobile lounges" as part of their "ground support" fleet........
