Omnibus for All

The conflict between the running of an efficient bus service and the increasing motor car traffic in Britain's towns. Describes the traffic problem and some of the measures taken to help overcome it from the point of view of different members of the community; the ways in which the planning of new towns and the rebuilding of town centres can take into account the needs of all road users, and the particular contribution the bus can make as the best user of road space per passenger carried.

Directed by R.K. Neilson-Baxter, Omnibus for All leans on a strong ensemble — R.K. Neilson-Baxter, Frank Duncan, Hilary Mason — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 1963.
