Baghdad Buses Carries Coach Damascus Desert Nairn Operates Passengers Versa Vice 1936
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Desert Bus Service, operated by the Nairn Transport Company, making its way through the arid landscape between Baghdad and Damascus in 1936. The motor coach, a testament to the ingenuity and determination of its operators, carries passengers on a historic journey through the heart of the Middle East. The rugged terrain of the desert is a stark contrast to the sleek lines and sturdy build of the bus, which appears well-equipped to handle the challenges of the road ahead. The passengers, dressed in clothing typical of the region, seem unfazed by the harsh conditions, their faces etched with a sense of anticipation and adventure. The Desert Bus Service was a vital link between two major cities during a time when travel was often difficult and dangerous. The journey from Baghdad to Damascus, and vice versa, was a long and arduous one, requiring both physical and mental fortitude. The Nairn Transport Company's motor coach provided a much-needed service, connecting people and communities across the desert. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, a time when travel was an adventure and the road less travelled was a source of excitement rather than trepidation. The Desert Bus Service, with its stalwart motor coach and intrepid passengers, represents a chapter in the rich history of transportation in the Middle East.
