Description: | This bus ticket was issued by London Transport in 1954. These plain numerical-type tickets were used on many London bus routes. The backs, which were not required for journey information, were often used for commercial adverts. This provided useful additional revenue.
The adverts often give insights into contemporary social history and consumer habits. This one advertises Kellogg's breakfast cereal. In the mid-20th century, being 'calorific' was seen as a selling-point. Kellogg's now promotes the same cereal as a low-fat breakfast option. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Transport | Temporal: | 1954 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Creator: | Publisher : London Transport | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
