The Uniform Time Act was signed into law on April 12, 1966, by President Lyndon Johnson. (States could opt out by passing a state law.) DST was in use long before that, but could be different from town to town, county to county, and/or state to state. This was quite a headache for travelers and especially commercial carriers of travelers. For example, on a 35-mile stretch of highway between Moundsville, W.V., and Steubenville, Ohio, every bus driver and his passengers had to endure seven time changes, with the time jumping back and forth several times for the travelers. Can you imagine the poor driver having to explain an ETA to a passenger?
