Does anyone else remember the poor sods who used to drive bus chassises about?

They looked for all the world like they were perched on orange boxes, dressed in turn of the nineteenth century driver's garb - back when the gentry sat inside and the driver sat out in the weather?

I haven't seen one now for perhaps a couple of decades - but they really were dressed up like a cross between a WWI flying ace and someone riding in an open-top sidecar. Goggles, leather helmets, 3" thick leather overcoats, etc. In all weathers and sometimes at ridiculous speeds. Those things must have been fun to drive.
