The C-SPAN Bus Program is an umbrella term for the activity surrounding several vehicles that have been used by C-SPAN since 1993, starting with the C-SPAN School Bus. The inspiration for the bus program was at least partly taken from Douglas Brinkley's book The Majic Bus: An American Odyssey, which described Prof. Brinkley's experiences taking groups of college students on tours of historic sites around the U.S.[1] The first C-SPAN school bus began its service in 1993, and a second bus was introduced in 1996.[2] In 2010, the C-SPAN Digital Bus and the first Local Content Vehicle debuted, and the original two buses were retired.[3]
