EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking WW2 poster, titled "The driver who wouldn't stop for passengers," is a powerful reminder of the importance of etiquette and cooperation during wartime. Dated 1942, this propaganda poster was designed to be displayed at bus depots to promote productivity and efficiency in public transportation. The image depicts an empty bus, with a frustrated crowd of passengers waiting at the stop, their faces expressing disappointment and annoyance. The bus driver, shown in profile, is shown with a determined expression as he continues to drive past the stop, unwilling to let anyone on board. The caption beneath the image reads, "The driver who wouldn't stop for passengers lost his fares and found his number up." This ominous phrase suggests that the driver's refusal to follow the rules of passenger etiquette had consequences, and that he would be held accountable for his actions. The poster serves as a reminder that even in the midst of war, basic rules of courtesy and respect for others were still expected. It also highlights the importance of productivity and efficiency in the transportation industry during a time when resources were scarce and the need for efficient travel was paramount. This historic poster is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering insights into the social norms and values of the 1940s. It also serves as a reminder of the role that propaganda played in shaping public behavior during wartime, and the power of visual imagery to persuade and influence.
