Reference number	1996/4472
Description	This bus ticket was issued by London Transport between 1945 and 1946. The 2d (2 pence) ticket permitted travel on route 212, running between Finsbury Park and Muswell Hill. On the back, there is a public information notice. There was a shortage of serviceable buses in the early post-war years. During rush hour, workers often had to stand since all seats were taken. This message encourages people to travel at off-peak times where possible, to minimise overcrowding.
