Mr.Parkinson;
Agreed!  The photo in Cox' book shows a valid Louisville
destination sign on 1253.  Fare boxes in those days were
very simple compared to today weren't they;  that would
not be a problem.  Insurance dictates then as now but the
structure then would be different as well.

What is a little baffling about your original post:  you mention
insurance being a problem but then state that a route foreman
may operate the bus today with passengers without collecting fares.
I assume these people are not covered by company insurance
which means a tremendous liability if something happens.  Maybe
I misunderstand your intention here.

Without  a   'coast'   but  not  a   'cause.'

Quite so Mr Campbell but somewhat irrelevant; and I've taken your bait. 70
years ago operators indeed went up on the roof--and may have operated with
less training, but vehicles did not run without appropriate insurance--and
rarely without destination signs or fareboxes.
