CHINA MOTOR BUS

Established in 1923, China Motor Bus Company Limited (CMB) was a franchised public bus operator on Hong Kong Island, pioneering the installation of latex seats in the 1950s and the golden age of CMB in the 1970s with the introduction of the first double-decker rear-engined bus, the Tanner Jumbo, in 1972. In the early days, buses required one or two conductors to help with ticket sales and punching, and by 1976, CMB was operating under one-man control, i.e. one person was responsible for both the driver and fares. Although CMB's bus service has ceased, it has brought us more precious memories of that era.
