Abstract:
In the 1920s, North Carolina became known as the Good Roads State, with concrete highways connecting large cities, county seats, and major institutions via a peak in bus companies. By the 1930s, three large bus companies emerged: Queen City Coach Company (Charlotte), Carolina Coach Company (Raleigh), and Camel City Coach Company (Winston-Salem). With steady growth and finance, these companies became part of then national networks for Trailways and Greyhound.
