Vintage Bus - C1910 - New York

New York - Vintage Bus - C 1910-1915 Here is a old vintage bus at the beginning of the 20th Century. This bus's route took passengers from 5th Ave to Central Park in New York, USA. The date was around 1910 to 1915. Things of note are the very high driving position, that air horn, solid rubber tyres and the cost, only ten cents. Not sure if is driven by steam or petrol, does anyone know ?
