Original artwork description:

You think it started 500 years ago? You're partly right. But the real exploration began, in my opinion, in the late 1940s. That's when the great event happened. America started moving across the country in droves. And that was helped by simple buses. Well, they weren't exactly simple buses. They were comfortable buses designed to travel long distances.
And that's it, you might ask. Because by this time, America had a well-developed rail network. It had the largest number of private cars. And yet the bus was the main engine of progress.
Of course, that's a metaphor. Of course at that time there were many social and economic factors that influenced the movement of people much more than the availability of the bus.
But all other symbols have been safely forgotten and buses remain a reflection of the era.
