This early type of motor coach transportation shows a double-decker bus at Wilshire and Western; the upper deck filled with passengers. This is the Route 82 motor coach that travels from Wilshire to 5th and Hill. A very large sign atop a building behind the coach reads: "It's in the Examiner," referencing the Los Angeles Examiner newspaper. December 21, 1937.
