While perusing the internet, I came across this fascinating "All Other Modes" history of stage coaches... several pages of reading with photo's...

traildriver:
I had started a thread here AGES ago on this very topic! (I guess great minds DO think alike!)
The link you posted indeed looks quite interesting; I'll enjoy delving into it later this evening!
I've always thought it most interesting that the word "stages", a century later, was still being used by certain intercity operators; as examples:
SOUTHEASTERN STAGES
EDWARDS LAKE-TO-SEA STAGES
SHENADOAH STAGES
SERVICE STAGES
UNION PACIFIC STAGES
MT. HOOD STAGES
ORANGE BELT STAGES
MOYERS STAGES
SALT LAKE & TOOELE STAGES
RIVER AUTO STAGES
CRESCENT STAGES
SOUTHWESTERN STAGES
RIMROCK STAGES
LEEWAY STAGES

....it would be quite interesting, certainly, to see what original stagecoach lines later evolved into motor bus companies.
Just now recalled another company that used the word "stage":
"LONE STAR STAGE LINES".........
