In the 1920s, buses were the most advanced mode of transportation under the automotive technological revolution. Several entrepreneurs responded to the call of the times and started bus services in Hong Kong, providing momentum for the city's development. Our Docent will share the background of the birth of bus services, the founding processes of the early bus companies, and how they transitioned towards franchised operations in 1933.
